[ARCHIVED] What is the difference between Support Training and Tier 1 Support Training?

What is the difference between Support Training and Tier 1 Support Training?  These are both in the Canvas training for this week and have exactly the same description.

Very good question.  There's not a whole lot of clear documentation on this, but my understanding (which could absolutely be wrong) is that the Support Training (non-Tier 1) is for those users who are providing their own direct support to faculty/staff/students, and the Tier 1 is for those that have signed up for Tier 1 support - meaning Canvas provides Tier 1 support for your faculty/staff/students.

So the non-Tier 1 course focuses on resources such as documentation, videos, and then how to file actual bugs with Canvas, and the Tier 1 is the same plus how Tier 1 works and ticketing with them.

We are giving the Canvas Admins area a little bit of love (especially questions that are really, really old) and just want to check in with you.  This will also bring this question new attention.

 @Robbie_Grant   - thanks for checking in, but to be honest, I don't even remember what that was about.  I'm guessing it was related to training that occurred when service cloud was rolled out, replacing whatever was there before.
