In these courses, we cover technology frameworks, teaching strategies, personalized learning, and digital tools and their connection to Canvas. After the core two are complete, participants will choose an **_elective track_**. Each elective track consists of two courses, and participants can re-certify in future years by simply picking a new elective. At the end of each course, educators will earn a badge toward their CCE pathway, and after completing all 4 courses successfully, educators will be a Canvas Certified Educator. ### Program Alignment We love Canvas, but we didn't want to just show you the features of Canvas in isolation. We wanted to showcase the connection between Canvas and teaching and learning best practices. So these courses contain a combination of information about research-based best practices and strategies for using Canvas to its fullest potential. We hope this combination will help to enhance your understanding and use of Canvas in the context of blended and online learning. Each course walks you through the process of building content in Canvas that you can take and use at your institution. By successfully completing all of the discussions and assignments in the course, you will earn a digital badge issued by Instructure. Earning all 4 course badges leads to the full Canvas Certified Educator badge. ### Program Benefits The CCE courses are connected and designed to help support your success, strengthen your Canvas implementation, and amplify instructional practices that are aligned to learning outcomes and student needs. Throughout the courses you will: - Identify and apply the skills and strategies to create engaging and responsive learning environments in Canvas - Leverage technology at various levels of integration to effectively align and target learning goals - Understand that well-designed technology integrated learning experiences rely on the interdependence between context, content, and instructional practice - Assess learning shifts from teacher-directed learning practices to student-directed personalized learning practices Within each course, you will experience first-hand the scaffolded journey of moving through a learning progression from substitution and consumption of information toward redefinition and the creation and application of learning experiences that integrate transformative practices and tools. The arc of learning will provide frameworks, models, and instructional practices anchored in research to build awareness of what it takes to create responsive learning environments. (Responsive to student cognitive, social, emotional and cultural needs, and environmental demands) You will engage in effective practices such as self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection to inform the selection and implementation of intentional instructional moves that support shifts from teacher-directed learning to student-directed learning. Engagement strategies will empower you to design with motivation, participation, and progression at the forefront. Personalized learning practices will encourage and support partnerships between teachers and learners that empower the student by turning the learning over to the learner. Finally, you will design learning experiences that incorporate the use and choice of digital tools that promote transformational practices and support both the teacher and learner's voice to express learning and create in ways that would not exist without the use of technology.
