A Message From Lisa Ciardulli
I’ve been at
Santa Fe just
over a year
now, and as the
saying goes,
“we’ve come a
long way,
baby!” Canvas
is now old hat
for many faculty, but we continue to
encourage new faculty to use Canvas
to supplement on-campus classes.
We have designed and delivered
several new faculty development
workshops for classroom and online
teaching, from creating rubrics to
creating videos; we also focuson
incorporating new technologies into
your teaching from Google to Canvas
apps (like badges, for example!). Just
since January 2014, we’ve filled 156
seats in 32 workshops. We are thrilled
that so many faculty members are
taking time out of their busy schedules
to learn new things from our staff and
each other. In this volume of the
Teachology magazine, you’ll read about
how some of your colleagues are using
what they’ve learned. It’s an awesome
thing to be a part of, and we greatly
2
appreciate the faculty who are making
big and little changes in their classes
for the betterment of their students.
And the future just gets better.
We are looking forward to rolling out
our second cohort of the Certificate of
Classroom Teaching and Learning
(CCTL) during summer B (more details
in this magazine); and this fall we’ll be
adding a second certificate program:
Certificate of Online Teaching and
Learning (COTL)! If you have any
requests for a specific workshop, be
sure and let us know. You probably
aren’t the only one who would like to
learn more about that topic. If there’s
a new technology you’d like to try in
your classrooms, we can probably help.
We hope to see you soon in one
of the workshops or in the Canvas
Open Lab. Or just top by to say hi,
share a story, or give us a suggestion
about how we can better serve your
needs.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
