Last week we explored training opportunities, uploaded a profile picture, uploaded a syllabus to the Syllabus tab and uploaded files. See last week’s post.

Here are some ideas of what to do this week to get your course(s) ready in Canvas.

Understanding Canvas Modules is the key to good course design. Canvas courses are organized using a Module-based system. Within each module are the associated pages, files, activities, assignments, discussions, and quizzes that belong to that Module. Modules can be organized by week, subject, unit, project, or whatever makes the most sense for your course. Here is an example of a Module with various Pages and Assignments added:
