Part 5: Spring 2017 Labs
67 Canvas Case Scenarios with Jen Reinhart — 04.03.2017
The April 3, 2017 Active Teaching Lab explored strategies for building case scenarios in Canvas. Jen Reinhart 
shared how she used the pages tool to set up case scenarios, comparing the strengths and weakness of Canvas to Case Scenario/Critical Reader Builder (CSCR).
Takeaways
- Scenarios built in CSCR do not import into Canvas
- A strength of Canvas is the ability to use images as links (could not do that in CSCR)
- Students can see the title of the linked pages, so don’t use “Correct…” or “Incorrect…” as the titles
- Since keeping pages organized is difficult due to a lack of file structuring, naming pages wisely should be considered prior to building the scenario
- Quizzes can be embedded at the end of the scenario to assess students’ knowledge
