We offer three ways for you to get ready for MacEwan’s new digital learning environment, mêskanâs, so you can prepare for the change from Blackboard to mêskanâs this fall.

1. Attend the two-day mêskanâs Camp!

Camp #1 – August 16 & 17
Camp #2 – August 22 & 23
Camp #3 – August 29 & 30

Come join us in a two-day, hands-on, face-to-face mêskanâs Camp and walk away with elements of a developed mêskanâs course, ready to be delivered to your students.

For registration information, please visit the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s mêskanâs resource site.

2. Mix and match face-to-face and virtual sessions to learn mêskanâs your way!

Can’t fit the two-day mêskanâs Camp into your schedule? Not on campus this spring/summer? Join us in mêskanâs Path workshops and customize your learning by selecting from the list below:

  • Organizing your course content effectively
  • Improving student communication and discussion
  • Working with student groups
  • Creating quizzes and surveys
  • Creating and marking assignments
  • Using Gradebook

For registration information, please visit the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s mêskanâs resource site.
