There are several ways to access Canvas training opportunities:

Upcoming Training Webinars

Canvas trainings can be viewed and registered for using the University of Pittsburgh Event Calendar. These trainings provide what faculty and staff users need to know to get started using all of Canvas's most common functions and features, in the form of either a single three-hour session, or a series of three one-hour sessions. Please register in advance for these sessions, as space is limited.

Organize a Group Training for Your Department or School

Would you like a Canvas training workshop to be delivered for a group at your department, school or campus? Trainers are available to deliver sessions upon request for groups of 10 or more. We will work with you to determine an appropriate session length and agenda, starting with your completion of this form. Upon submission, a trainer will be in touch to confirm a date, time, location and agenda.

Recorded Webinars

All recorded webinars include closed captions. The Q&A section at the end of each webinar has been removed from these recordings for privacy reasons.
