Teaching and Learning as CANVAS Ambassadors During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Faculty Experiences at One Historically Black College and University.

In this article, we explore the experiences and self-reflections of faculty as CANVAS Ambassadors at Morgan State University, a Historically Black University in Baltimore, Maryland, during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The university transitioned to remote/online instruction using the CANVAS™ learning management system in March of 2020. The findings include several themes and lessons: the positive impact on colleagueship when faculty train faculty, the ability to close technology gaps, and the opportunity to broaden overall faculty teaching and learning development at the university. The paper suggests an example of transferable learning experience to other universities and suggests future research plans in preparation for unpredictable teaching and learning in education.
