Hi folks, it looks like Scott the Magnificent has already created us a CanvasHacks public classroom to play in, and enrolled us as teachers.

Any thoughts on structure? I have a similar course that is mostly complete that I am preparing for my faculty that I could upload to provide a bit of structure. It is intended for non-coders, and has the following module structure:

• About HTML and the HTML Editor - DO NOT FEAR THE CODE!
• Beginning Users
• Intermediate users
• Advanced users
• Sharing (sharing has a discussion and links to external resoursces

However, I am not a pushy sort, so whatever anybody else wants, I am more than happy to go along with. I can always upload stuff a piece at a time and fit it where I can.

My "lessons" are all one page, and include:

• A brief description
• The code snippet
• Anatomy of the code snippet where I identify those components that are easy to modify by novices like myself
• Instructions for use
• Troubleshooting, and
• Sometimes some obvious variations based on changes to parts of the code (colors, sizes, positions etc. - the minor stuff)

Let me know what your think!

Oh yah, and I also have a hokey Home page, because that's just the kind of guy I am:)

Great idea, Kelley.

I created a course shell in resources.instructure.com.  It looks like well over 60 people have already requested either student or teacher level access.  Those of you with teacher level access, feel free to invite your friends.  Anyone else interested, please comment to that effect.   @kmeeusen ​ and the super helpful  @Ron_Bowman ​ have been great about going in and inviting folks. 

Thanks

Scott

Ronald, I should have read the entire thread before making my request. I probably should have been added as a student not a teacher. My apologies. I also do not know where to go to access the course. Sorry to be such a bother. Alane

abreitmeyer​-

to get to the classroom go to Log In to Canvas

This is a different area than the community.  I had to create a new account to access that area.

I deleted your teacher invitation and will send a student invitation

Ron,

When I clicked on the link (course invite), it brought me to the regular instructure canvas log-in. However, it kept telling me wrong username and/or password when I would use my campus email (above) and password--the ones I use for logging into my campus account. Any idea what the problem is?

[pwalsh]

That happened to me, too. I ended up creating a new account for the canvaslms.com site (same email address as my school one) because that's what I thought it wanted, and now I'm getting sales calls at home! Eek!

In the past when I've been invited to something and it asks me to create an account it recognizes from my email that I've already got an account and it all works. Not sure what went wrong here.

[Ron_Bowman]

erinbreaux @pwalsh erinbreaux​

You need to go to the resources.instructure.com web site and login there. 

I believe you will have to create a new account if what you have for a login does not work.

Note: I put this in such large bold font so as to catch the eyes of other people with the same problem. Ideally this information should be in the top most message( @kmeeusen  - can you edit your message?) .
