Use

• The Singh Sandbox Maker Space uses ELMS / Canvas to host a series of short training modules used for safety and basic useage certification
• Using the UMD campus LMS allows us to present training in a uniform fashion and ensures that we maintain accurate records about who has completed the training necessary to use a particular tool.
• Training modules are short (10-20 minutes on average) modules intended to teach the most important safety information and basic usage information.
