Module 2 Overview

 

Module Purpose and Objectives

NOTE: While the words "course content" can mean different things to different people, in this module, "course content" does not include assignments and quizzes, which will be covered in depth in Module 5. It does include any items you want to share with your students for their consumption such as course readings (files), multimedia content (video, audio, images, etc.), and text-based content (pages).

There are a number of ways to approach content delivery in Canvas, and every instructor's needs and circumstances will be unique. The resources in this module will help you first examine the options for content delivery and organization before guiding you through the steps for creating and organizing the content in your course.

By the end of this module, you should be able to...

  • Evaluate content delivery options, and select the best approach for structuring your own content
  • Develop your course syllabus, and create a syllabus page in Canvas
  • Create, edit, and organize content in Canvas, and customize students’ access to content throughout a course
  • Optimize course content for accessibility
  • Customize the style and navigation of your course
  • Publish your course
