Hey Sloan TAs! Join us for Canvas Essentials—a training designed to set you up for success this term. You'll learn how to build and manage a Canvas site that meets MIT Sloan’s Gold Standards—best practices shaped by Sloan student feedback and educational research.

This training is required for first-time TAs. If you’ve already attended in a previous term, you’re still welcome to join us for a refresher.

We’ll cover how to:
  • Support your faculty and students on Canvas confidently
  • Navigate the complexities of roster management, including waitlists and section changes
  • Grade quickly, efficiently, and equitably
  • Avoid common pitfalls
  • Contact support
  • And much more!   
An hour now will save you time and increase your capability to help your class succeed this term.

Can’t attend this session? Canvas Essentials trainings are offered regularly on Zoom during the first two weeks of classes. Attendance at either an in-person or virtual session will fulfill the requirement.

IMPORTANT: This training is intended for new and returning MIT Sloan Teaching Assistants (TAs).
