This course was designed to show off the very best use of Canvas while you learn how to utilize Canvas. Read on for some important points, tips, and tools for being successful!

A Themed Course

This course has a simple set up with matched images, icons, and badges to create a theme. We understand that when you teach your course, the theme will be your subject area, and your Modules will likely be unit, chapter, or week names.

What Is a Sandbox?

We recommend that all faculty have a dedicated course space in Canvas to build and try things out. This space isn't an assigned course that will ever have students enrolled - it's just a place to play. We frequently refer to these courses as Sandboxes. We hope that you have a place like this to build (even if it's not called a Sandbox). You will be asked to try out building as you move through this course, and you'll do that in your Sandbox space.

Course Design

This course is designed using Modules as an organizational tool. Once you are in a Module, you can use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate through the content.
