IT Training will contact you about your request within three business days to begin the scheduling process. 

Any topic listed on the Explore Topics training catalog page can be requested for academic classes, student groups, and faculty or staff groups.

Faculty and staff groups may also request topics that are not listed in the catalog. When possible, IT Training can customize content to meet your group’s needs.

If IT Training cannot provide the requested training, we’ll connect you with another team or resource that can help.

Faculty and staff groups can request custom sessions on many topics not included in our training catalog. Once you have requested your session, you will be contacted by IT Training to help narrow down your training needs.

Academic class and student group requests are limited to the content available in our training catalog.

IT Training online course content can be imported into any other course in Canvas at IU. To learn more, see our instructions on importing content from IU's Canvas Commons.

Import from Canvas Commons

You might consider importing our course content into your Canvas site if you:

  • are an instructor teaching a course in Canvas.
  • want to be able to assign one of our courses to your students.
  • need to track course completion.
  • want to view your students' scores in your course gradebook.
  • need to create a custom schedule around our course content.

You can satisfy all these needs by importing our course content from Canvas Commons!

Canvas Commons allows instructors using Canvas to publish their courses to be imported by other instructors. All of our courses hosted in Canvas are available for import via the Canvas Commons! You can import our assets, assign them as assignments, track our quiz scores in your course gradebook, and pick and choose the content most critical to your course!

Important Considerations

If you are importing our content into your own course, you should be aware that the course content is only available to users with an IU username and passphrase. If your course includes non-IU participants, they will need to register for the course on IU Expand.
