What’s happening

What purpose does Canvas serve when you are teaching a face-to-face course? Much of the learning in your class happens outside of the physical classroom as students study and complete work outside of the scheduled meeting times. Beyond simply hosting all the files you share with students, Canvas has the potential to structure how students learn outside of class. This training reviews various module structures to demonstrate how intentional course design can improve students’ user experience. We reflect on our current Canvas course spaces and brainstorm how different organizational structures might remove some of the administrative burdens of teaching and give you more time to plan powerful learning experiences.
