For about as long as I can remember, people have been asking for a Canvas professional certification program. Instructure recently launched the Canvas Certified Educator Program, and the first cohorts begin in November. We are offering both a K12 and HE scholarship for the whole program (6 courses). Cohorts are already filling up.
If you are interested in applying, download the StoryMedia app (links below), and make a quick video telling us what you love about Canvas - BE CREATIVE. Your submission needs to be posted to Twitter by midnight MDT next Wednesday (11.4). We will announce the scholarship winners by 5 PM MDT on 11.5. Make sure you use #CanvasCertified when you post your video to Twitter. There will be some Amazon Giftcards for our favorite 10 videos.
A little more about the program from Michelle Lattke, Director of Learning Services, "We are so excited about the Canvas Certified Educator program. We wanted to combine the demand for research-based PD and the interest in Canvas certification to provide a deeper experience in Canvas beyond the basics. I've been so impressed by the amazing work and collegial collaboration from the participants thus far, and I am enthusiastic about the value the program will bring to our customers and their students!"
