Goals● Overview of Canvas Options● How to link google apps to Canvas● Tips for quick prep/grading

Canvas● Class Section● Due Dates/Calendar● Discussion Posts● Editing Assignments

Class Section● Key to making multiple

semesters/quarters work with different due dates.

● Must make a group project for all assignments you would like the possibility to be a group project before 1 student turns something in.

● Ideas - Is it worth making a separate assignment for this per class?

Due Dates/Calendar● easy access to needed files (powerpoints)● allows for quick file submissions● I make sure that the due date and the until date are

different. (I make the until date the end of the quarter)

Discussion Posts● topic discussions - like daily posts from training● responses to presentations from other peers

Editing Assignments● Make sure to allow

file uploads● I don’t restrict file

types● If you want

students to give a quick summary plus upload click the text entry option also
