Learning About Canvas

Daily: Canvas Q&A Sessions

  • These Sessions are the equivalent of a “Canvas Consultation” with a member of LTS.

  • They are first-come-first-serve, although we are often able to break up support sessions into private Zoom-breakout rooms.

  • These Sessions begin at various times throughout the week in an attempt to accommodate different schedules. (Please email LTS@boisestate.edu to request a separate consultation appointment if the scheduled times don’t work for you.)

  • To view the available sessions check out the LTS Training Calendar. (*Please note, LTS is closed on the weekends and University Holidays.)
