Session description

Discover the roadmap for launching Canvas LMS across a district with 140+ elementary schools. Learn how a multi-faceted training approach addressed the needs of educators, resulting in an increase in usage and adoption. We will share practical, ready-to-use training tools that are applicable to launching any LMS.

Outline

The poster session will be structured around key elements of our implementation, focusing on practical takeaways. Times may vary based on participant conversations.

Content Outline and Engagement
I. Share the Districts' LMS goal- Provide district profile, phased LMS rollout strategy, data from educator needs assessment and pain points with adoption of LMS. Engage attendees by having them identify their top LMS rollout challenge.

II. Multi- Faceted Training Strategy- Showcase the variety of methods used to meet diverse educator needs (e.g., self-paced modules, workshops, coaching programs, cheatsheet tutorials). Ask attendees open ended questions about training successes and challenges.

III. Practical, Ready to Use Tools- Feature 2-3 concrete resources for any LMS launch (e.g. quick start checklist, staff communication plan, LMS feature cheat sheet). Attendees will receive a QR code to resources they can use to support their implementation.

IV. Share districts current status and next steps.
