About the sessions:
We have two rooms at the venue - one large and one small. The "A sessions" will be hosted in the large room using an "unconference" format. In other words: there is plenty of opportunity to talk to other Canvas users about the topics that are important to you.
Feel free to suggest topics using this registration form.
In the smaller room we will host talks and workshops on topics such as Admin Analytics, New Quizzes, the use of rubrics and the customization of admin tools.
About the study trip(s) to VU:
The study trips to VU are subject to interest from you, the attendees. If there is sufficient interest we will try to host one trip before and one trip after lunch. The VU campus is a 20 minute walk from Novotel (our venue), which leaves about one hour for the study visit itself. Note that the first study trip will extend 15 minutes into lunch and the second one will depart 15 minutes before the lunch is over.
Details are still being hammered out, but VU are keen to host us and show us their facilities as well as fascilitate meetings with students and faculty.
About the tickets
The ticket price covers lunch as well as coffee and refreshments through the day.
