Description

This introductory Canvas session was delivered by Dr Matt Birch as part of ongoing staff engagement during the VLE transition period. The workshop was open to all Nursing and Midwifery staff and focused on building baseline confidence in Canvas use.

The session covered navigation, module structure, content creation, and student communication tools, with opportunities for discussion around common concerns and early adoption challenges.

This activity aligned with QUB strategic priorities around Education and Skills and Our People, supporting staff capability development and aligning with SDG 4 (Quality Education).

This workshop formed part of a highly successful Canvas VLE Rollout Programme in the School of Nursing and Midwifery and beyond in 2018–2019, which led to Dr Matt Birch receiving an Outstanding Leadership Award at the Queen’s University Staff Excellence Awards.
