IMC Canvas Course

The Instructional Modality Certification (IMC) course equips faculty with the essential knowledge and skills to effectively teach in various modalities using Canvas. All faculty will need to be certified every two years. Click here to learn more about the IMC course.

Once enrolled, you'll be able to find it on your Dashboard in Canvas.

Please complete all modules of the course by October 31, 2021.

NFO Faith Integration Foundations and Skillful Teacher Sessions

To support new faculty during their first year at APU, CTLA has created the Faith Integration and Skillful Teacher sessions, offered as a semester-long series of workshops. Faculty are required to sign up for both sessions but can choose to enroll either in the Fall or the Spring. All sessions will take place in ZOOM from 2:30pm- 4:00pm. More information will be provided after sign-up.
