Canvas ProfileSetting up your Canvas profile is one of the first things you should do before you teach on Canvas. You can add a short bio about yourself and upload a picture so students can put a face to your name. Doing both of these things will build your social presence in your courses and help students feel more connected to you.

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.
