Canvas 101 for Teaching Assistants (TA's)
AIT is now offering dedicated training, Canvas 101, to Teaching Assistants (TA’s) where they will learn how to support their supervising professors in Canvas. The sessions will go over the design view and grading features of Canvas Academic, among other things. Please encourage your TA’s to attend!
Sessions will be held from 10:30a-11:30a in Phelps room, located in lower Beamer Center (unless otherwise noted)
- Tues, 9/3: Uploading the syllabus and utilizing the Canvas course summary
- Tues, 9/10: Setting up grading groups in the gradebook
- Thurs, 9/12: Building using modules in Canvas (location for this day: Memorial Student Center/MSC 122)
- Tues, 9/17: Video playback/Panopto/embed codes
All participants will need to bring a laptop! This is a “hands on” workshop.
While faculty members and office coordinators are warmly welcomed, the focus will be on TA’s. Additionally, this is a friendly reminder that back in January of 2024, the process of adding Teaching Assistants to Canvas courses went to self-service. Faculty members no longer need to request that AIT add a particular TA to their Canvas course(s). They can do this by following these simple instructions: How do I add a TA or Co-Administrator for my Canvas class? | The Wheaton Answers Community.
We look forward to seeing your TAs at the Canvas 101 sessions!
Admin By Request will significantly reduce the risk of malware threats by introducing a verification step before the installation of risky software on college-owned computers. This guarantees that modifications to college-owned devices are securely managed. Commonly used software will no longer require you to enter your credentials to perform installations because they will be automatically authorized.
The phased rollout of Admin By Request will begin with staff and several weeks later will deploy to faculty. In the coming few weeks, you will receive more detailed information including the launch date based on your role (faculty/staff), FAQ's and other helpful resources.

AIT is pleased to share that the digital infrastructure at Wheaton College will soon be enhanced with the introduction of a new, state-of-the-art portal experience called Wheaton Gateway. As our current portal at portal.wheaton.edu is nearing obsolescence this summer, the timing couldn't be better for this upgrade. The Wheaton Gateway, powered by Pathify, will serve as a comprehensive hub, seamlessly connecting users with vital systems, the latest updates, information, and our community.
Within Wheaton Gateway you will be able to:
- Access to systems such as Banner Student Self-Service, Canvas, email and more
- Receive key notifications, announcements, and alerts tailored to your specific needs
- Easily find staff, systems, communities, resources and more
- Connect with department, service, and organizational communities
- View tasks and complete your most important to-dos
- Join on-campus and virtual events
- And much more
Wheaton Gateway will also come with a mobile app that will be accessible on smartphones.
We are implementing the new portal in phases over the coming months. Initially, we'll introduce basic functionality, with more sophisticated features being added gradually. More detailed information, including how to access the system and additional resources, will be provided as we approach the launch..
If you have any questions, please contact the AIT Service Desk at ait.service.desk@wheaton.edu or call 630-752-4357 (HELP).
