This webinar is for instructors who use or are interested in using National Geographic Learning’s Pathways Reading/Writing and Listening/Speaking Series. The webinar focuses on supplementing the Pathways series with a fully built course shell in Canvas, an online learning management system that is common among colleges and universities. Participants do not need any experience using Canvas to join the webinar; in fact, the less experience, the better! The webinar explains how to upload this predesigned course shell, which comes complete with additional reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities that build on the books’ topics and content. Pathways on Canvas is a great way to supplement the Pathways series with engaging online activities for students to enjoy, and the pre-made course shell makes it easy for any instructor to plug in and use.
