New Canvas Tour For Instructors!

Posted on Posted in New Feature, Updates

Have you ever wanted to sit down and really learn Canvas? Are you in need of an overview of all the elements and features that make Canvas useful? We combined our resources with materials from Instructure to compile a guide to walk you through every part of Canvas. Starting with your account setup, continuing with content creation, and finishing with tools for classroom interaction and collaboration, the Growing With Canvas Instructor Tour is your best friend. Whether you’re a Canvas veteran or a new recruit, this tour provides the resources for optimizing your digital education footprint in a familiar way.

The course is divided into six sections. You are rewarded with badges along the way to track your progress:

Getting oriented to the Canvas self-paced tutorial!
Setting up your account and learning about communication.
Customizing and organizing your course in Canvas.
Learning how to create activities and assessments within your course.
Evaluating student work with SpeedGraderTM and the grade book.
Discovering how to collaborate, share, and copy in Canvas.

We also incorporated a few FAU-specific pages and marked them with an 🦉 to highlight them. 🦉 pages include information regarding help contacts, grade submission, the FAU Emergency Module, the additional tools that we’ve incorporated into Canvas, and a few other FAU-related topics to round out the tour.

This course is public, so feel free to share it with anyone. Enroll in it today and start planting the seeds for a fruitful online experience with Canvas.
