TEL Student Resources
Welcome to the student resources page.
TEL is committed to supporting MTU students with their use of technology in teaching and learning. We have various resources to suit your needs including live training, help articles, and videos. We also run a helpdesk so you can contact us with any questions.
MTU has a robust and well-featured e-learning technical infrastructure with the Canvas learning management system at its heart. The system is integrated with the institute’s Student Record System meaning that every module has its own area inside Canvas with all staff and students enrolled against it or given access to it based on the most up-to-date information.
Zoom is MTU’s video-conferencing tool for live online learning and communication. Zoom is integrated with Canvas, so Zoom classes can be created and launched from inside Canvas.
Upcoming Training
The TEL department provide student training throughout the year that focus on a variety of topics to keep students up-to-date on feature updates and provide refresher training. The TEL department continue to update our self-paced courses for students on Canvas including Canvas Learn for Students and the Student Assessment Guide.
As always, please feel free to reach out to our team with questions or comments at edtech@mtu.ie.
