CSIL: Student Panel on LMS Course Design

Learners experience our LMS course sites every day for online and in-person courses. They have insight into what supports learning and what creates confusion. In this interactive panel, we will assemble a small group of learners (undergraduate students) from multiple Illinois institutions, who will share their honest perspectives on what works (and what doesn’t) in LMS course design. The session will be guided by questions such as: What makes a course site easy to navigate and understand?

This workshop will explore practical strategies for designing, facilitating, and assessing meaningful student peer review in a Canvas course. We will look at how peer review supports deeper learning, engagement, and feedback literacy.

We will also go over how to set up peer review using Canvas Assignments and the Harmonize discussion tool.

Join us in UHB 2004 or on Zoom.
