75 Organizing a Course in Canvas with Elise Davis — 09.15.2017

During the September 15, 2017 Active Teaching Lab, Elise Davis demonstrated how she uses Canvas navigation tools like Calendar and Assignments to guide students.

Takeaways

• The more options a course has, the more possibilities for students to get lost in it.
• The Canvas Calendar spans all the courses your students (and you!) are involved in.
• Participants heard Elise’s experience using Assignments and the Calendar to help guide learning tasks.
• Using their own laptops or mobile devices and a Sandbox course, attendees gained hands-on experience with Canvas tools from both the student and instructor perspective.
• View the session’s activity sheet and Elise’s slides for additional support materials.
