Canvas learning platform
All resources for the program — including calendars, templates for individual development plans and readings — are provided via an online platform called Canvas. This application also serves as a communication hub for learning modules, online discussions and collaborative work. Program faculty host learning activities such as interactive modules from the platform. Fellows submit quarterly reports and track overall progress using Canvas.
