Session 4E: Design Over Dollars: Choosing Engagement Tools That Matter

Friday July 31, 2026 2:45pm - 3:40pm CDT

VH 332

High engagement doesn’t come from expensive tools; it comes from intentional design. In this session, we’ll share how our nonprofit team builds highly engaging Canvas professional development for adult learners ages 14–70+ by thoughtfully selecting and layering the right tools for the right purpose.
You’ll see real examples of how we use Canvas with interactive slides, flip cards, embedded activities, and structured discussions; alongside aligned objectives, reflection, and knowledge checks; to create meaningful learning experiences. More importantly, we’ll unpack the “why” behind each choice: how we match tools to learning goals, cognitive load, application, and desired levels of interaction.
Leave with practical engagement strategies and tools that are purposeful, scalable, and budget-conscious; no premium integrations required.
