Case Study
Faculty Workshop / Training Enablement
Targeted Canvas workshops helped faculty build stronger rubrics and question banks with confidence.
Summary
Led two highlight trainings for FIU Online faculty: Building and Managing Rubrics in Canvas and Building Quizzes + Managing Question Banks in Canvas, with recordings shared for those who could not attend.

Ask, constraints, and approach
Instructors were frequently running into issues with rubrics and question banks, especially during course copies, so I hosted a departmental workshop with College of Business faculty to address pain points and best practices.
