Workshops and Office Hours
Learning Technologies offers free workshops to current UW faculty and staff for core UW teaching tools: Canvas, Panopto Lecture Capture, Poll Everywhere Classroom Response and Zoom Video Conferencing. You can also sign up for one of our online Office Hours sessions to get realtime guidance with these tools.
If you are interested in exploring these tools at your own pace, we encourage to click on the links to the specific services listed above, or check out our Teaching with UW Technologies resource in Canvas.
As always, if you need assistance with any of our teaching and learning tools, or if your schedule does not fit with our listed office hours or workshop times, you can email help@uw.edu, call us at (206) 221.5000 (Option 3), or drop by Odegaard Library Room 230.
