But unfortunately, relying on an LMS for course delivery tends to reduce everything to digitally mediated communication and exchange where everything happens on one platform. Most students will never touch Canvas again once they complete their education. So why would we have them spend so much time on the platform? This session aims to rethink the Canvas paradigm, especially in the age of AI and the relative ease of creating plausible academic work it provides to students. How can we benefit from the utility of Canvas while focusing students on building durable knowledge and developing critical skills within their chosen discipline? This &#8220;return-to-basics&#8221; session will share several ideas and approaches for getting students off Canvas and into their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mayflower-blocks-button d-grid\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary   \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/events.teams.microsoft.com\/event\/10eebac2-8cd0-4a96-8208-164c30c91c2a@f94c251c-1347-422e-b3ea-8ac56befd6cb?source=copyLinkLegacyShareLinkDialog\" aria-disabled=\"false\">Register for Thursday, Oct 8, 12:30 &#8211; 1:00 PM<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mayflower-blocks-panel card bg-light\"><div class=\"card-body\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-bc-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5463ceffd255dd0409bd5b4f60cf77ba\">Get More from Canvas with Microsoft Education!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Friday, Oct 9, 12:30 &#8211; 1 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Led by Jackie Hubbard,<br>Instructional Designer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Explore simple, impactful ways to connect Microsoft Education tools with Canvas.
