Training & Support

Welcome!

While each campus has its own Digital Learning Environment (DLE) support teams, this site provides DLE users with access to systemwide resources.  DLE users have access to many forms of systemwide DLE support including upcoming training opportunities, information about changes, and the current service status of Canvas, Kaltura and Zoom.

UW System campuses are encouraged to share training and support resources with their peers. Please add your UW System DLE training session or event to the shared Events Calendar by submitting this form: Events Calendar form  Thanks for sharing!

Training

Learn something new by watching live and recorded sessions geared for beginners to experts, or review the current schedule of available live training sessions.

Live Training and Events

From time to time, live learning technology training opportunities are available and are listed in the DLE events calendar.  Some sessions are only open to UW-System DLE users and some are public.  Please peruse the calendar for upcoming sessions.
