🎓 Building Your Canvas Course: Foundations
Virtual Event
Â
đź› Virtual Hands‑On WorkshopÂ
Creating a clear and well‑organized Canvas course is key to helping students navigate content and succeed. Canvas offers flexible tools for structuring courses, and seeing how those tools work together can make course building easier and more effective.
Â
In this hands‑on workshop, you’ll be introduced to the foundational Canvas tools used to structure a course and guide student progress. You’ll explore course settings and navigation, modules, and core content types, along with practical strategies for organizing materials and setting clear assignment expectations.
Â
Workshops are held daily and designed as a flexible course-building sprint before spring ends. To respect faculty summer time, this is the ideal time to get hands-on support and learn to build courses in Canvas ahead of the fall!
Â
📋 What You’ll Learn
âś… Course Setup & Navigation:Â Review and simplify key Canvas settings and navigation to create a clear student experience.
✅ Modules & Course Flow: Learn how modules organize content and support logical learning flow (weekly, unit‑based, or topic‑based).
âś… Adding Course Content: Add and organize pages, files, and assignments, including due dates, availability, and Gradebook connections.
