The Office of Teaching and Learning Technologies
The Office of Teaching and Learning Technologies will be hosting a handful of Canvas specific drop-in hours. These are open hours that any faculty members can stop-by and ask questions concerning canvas and even build their courses. In addition, we will be offering virtual training sessions for Gradescope and TopHat.

OneHE
The CTE has recently subscribed to the OneHE online learning platform. This platform was offered to faculty during spring 2023 to provide high-quality resources to improve and enhance their teaching.
The online platform is created specifically for educators in higher education:
- Microlearning courses for faculty (20–30-minute presentations from experts in pedagogy)
- Resources for faculty (Learning activities, student engagement, and student support)
- Webinars with faculty from around the world; including a dedicated space for educators who are looking to explore Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education and how it can be useful in teaching
and learning. - Providence College is thrilled to partner with OneHE and give you access to this valuable
platform. As part of our partnership, we have a private community space where we can
connect, share our learning, and recommend content to each other.
