Required Instructor Training

New instructors must complete Canvas training prior to their teaching quarter. If you’re new to teaching online or hybrid at UCLA Extension, your Program Department will reach out to you to discuss Canvas Training and to enroll you in the training course.

The Canvas Orientation course is just one step in the journey to assist you in creating a great online course. This course will guide you through the planning, development, and implementation of your online, hybrid, and web-enhanced courses using the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS). The knowledge and skills you gain will prepare you for your upcoming course and inform your teaching not only at UCLA Extension but at any institution that uses Canvas as its learning management system.
