Course Shells
2021-22 itslearning courses (scheduled in eSchool) have been created in Canvas. Teachers will notice that the course names are identical to their current courses in itslearning. The purpose of these Canvas courses is to provide a place for teachers to migrate their itslearning content through the itslearning and manual migration processes. These courses are NOT instructional courses for next year, so no county curriculum will be pushed to these courses. Shell courses are intended for teacher use to organize their personal content.
Virtual Office Hours
As staff work through required and optional modules in Canvas, virtual office hours will be available Monday through Thursday afternoons. Access the full schedule.
