Criteria for Success
Participants can learn more about submission criteria in our Canvas course. Canvas is the same software that is used by Webcourses, but students will have to create a free account to log onto Canvas directly—not UCF Webcourses, We use this site so members of the community and others who are not from UCF can view our showcase.
This online Canvas Course has enabled open enrollment. Participants and attendees can self-enroll in the course URL: https://canvas.instructure.com/enroll/MRMPJL. Alternatively, they can sign up at https://canvas.instructure.com/register and use the following join code: MRMPJL
