From Filing Cabinet to Classroom: Teaching Through Your LMS

Too often, learning management systems like Canvas are used as digital filing cabinets, a place to upload notes, PDFs, and assignments. In this session, we’ll flip that perspective and explore how your LMS can function as a true teaching partner. Participants will learn practical strategies for designing interactive modules that guide students through a learning experience rather than just storing materials. We’ll look at how to structure lessons inside the LMS, build in opportunities for practice and feedback, and scaffold assignments so students feel supported at every step. Walk away with ready-to-use examples and a framework for turning your LMS into a classroom space that actively teaches, engages, and supports learners.
