Canvas users can now set their personal pronouns in their profile. These pronouns will display after the user’s name in several places such as the discussion board, the People tab, and the user’s profile.
Please click here to see directions on how to set your pronouns, if you would like to do so, and feel free to share these directions with your students.
For more information about the importance of allowing students to set their personal pronouns, please see mypronouns.org.
I received my B.A. in English with a minor in Journalism from Wake Forest University and an M.A. in Religious Studies from Indiana University Bloomington. I see the role of an instructional designer as one that removes barriers to learning online content. Those barriers might be ones of accessibility, clarity, motivation, or something else that we discover as the online education continues to be refined. My job is to collaborate with instructors to make their content shine.
