Canvas + Coffee: Set Up Your Course Calendar and A+ Attendance (For Course Admins Only)

Hey Sloan Course Admins! Join us for a hands-on working session to get your Fall Canvas course calendar and A+ Attendance ready before classes begin.
 

☕ Coffee and light refreshments will be available starting at 10:30 a.m.
 

Canvas Calendar events help students know when and where their classes meet. Setting them up correctly also makes it easier to use A+ Attendance and helps avoid last-minute attendance issues once classes are underway.

During this session, the STS Teaching & Learning Technologies team will walk you through how to create and manage class-session events in the Canvas Calendar, including recurring events and courses with multiple sections. If your course uses A+ Attendance, we’ll also show you how to import and filter those class sessions.

This is a working session, not just a demo. Please bring your laptop and come ready to work directly in one of your Fall Canvas course sites. We’ll give you time to follow along, complete your own setup, and ask questions as you go.
