A wide variety of lecturers, professors, instructional designers and support staff from across the university will be attending this spy-themed conference.

Together, this group’s mission is to complete their heist of valuable Canvas intelligence and then debrief others across the university by sharing best practices, offering training workshops or creating open-source content to share in Canvas Commons.
