Faculty of Humanities Canvas update

06 Jun 2025

An update on what’s been happening in the Faculty to support our transition to Canvas.

Sign up for the June open meeting

The next Canvas online open meeting will take place on Monday, 23 June from 12-1pm to give you updates and insights on the University’s move to Canvas. Join the project team and a panel of University leaders to hear the latest news and what you need to do to prepare for the rollout of Canvas by September 2025.

The session will include:

  • Key news on our transition to Canvas
  • What you need to do to prepare
  • An opportunity to ask questions and share your feedback

Register to attend the open meeting.

This session is part of a series of open meetings taking place throughout the project. If you are unable to attend, a recording will be available on the Canvas SharePoint microsite.

Resources

  • Humanities Adopting Canvas SharePoint site – your one-stop space for all things Canvas. Check the support site first to see if your query is covered.
  • Example courses – explore how colleagues have developed their course units in collaboration with eLearning staff, incorporating the template and course unit standards. You’ll be able to self-enrol on these standalone units.
  • Focus on Digital Learning Week recordings – if you missed these sessions, or would like a refresh, many of the session recordings are now available to watch.

Support and consultations

  • Canvas drop-ins – from Monday, 16 June to Thursday, 3 July, the Humanities eLearning team will be running a series of general online drop-ins to address any Canvas queries.
  • Bookable Canvas consultation slots – each School is offering bookable Canvas online consultation slots for up to four colleagues who wish to explore the same aspect of Canvas. Book a consultation: SALC, SEED, AMBS, SoSS
  • Larger Canvas group sessions – for groups of more than four colleagues who wish to explore the same aspect of Canvas, submit a ticket in Connect to arrange a one-hour consultation session with a member of the eLearning team.

Training

  • Scheduled Canvas Go! Training sessions – attend these training sessions to find out more about building and structuring your course, assessing student learning and building a learning community. An online version of the training will be available shortly.
  • Department-specific Canvas training sessions – the eLearning team are liaising with Schools and departments to offer 1.5-hour Canvas workshops between 16 June and 18 July. Keep an eye out for local communications about the training.
