Canvas: Creating and managing Canvas course content

[Return to Canvas: Training - Starting Point]

Creating & managing Canvas course content

This material will be the most time-consuming portion of your learning curve in Canvas. This is where you actually "create" your course... give it body, share information, assign tasks to students, and assess their learning. Allow yourself time to explore and test these elements. Each element (listed below) links to a corresponding "start" page in Instructure's online Canvas Guides.

  • Files: upload files to share with the students in your course
  • Pages: create web pages in your course for custom content
  • Assignments: create gradable activities in your course
  • Modules: use modules to group and sort your Canvas objects in a logical, organized and easy-to-navigate layout
  • Announcements: remind students of due dates, notify them of course cancellations, or other pieces of information
