Design Matters: Key Lessons for Better Canvas Courses

11:00 am, MT

At Cidi Labs, we’ve been exploring this idea by bringing together insights from learning science and real-world course design practices in our Design Matters series to understand what actually makes courses more effective, engaging, and accessible.
