Welcome to our first post in 2022. This issue contains resources to support you as we strive to ensure you receive the solutions to maintain student engagement and learning.

Consider adding some color to your page background, because black text on a white background can be a boring presentation.

There are three ways to make lists on a Canvas page: unordered lists (bullet), ordered lists (numeric), and definition lists (dictionary or glossary). In this tutorial we will explore each approach.

You can create a custom announcement or "Did you know??" box on any page in your Canvas course by using some simple HTML code.

This is a fun little interaction that is pretty easy to execute. Add interactive hover effects to buttons and other elements on your Canvas page. Level up!

Although the copy/paste function on computers is a useful tool, there are better approaches for copying, duplicating, and sharing content within Canvas.

When we go into the moderate on the new quizzes it would be really nice if somehow there could be a sign that we have already adjusted a score.  Either a color change on the attempt or a little symbol somewhere.  It is very time consuming to go through assignments and adjust scores to have kids turn in work late and not be able to see what scores I’ve already looked at. Thank you for considering this.

Hey Teachers,

I generally make videos to help faculty learn to use technology and learning management software. However, knowing that there are a lot of parents and students going online or hybrid for the first time this semester, I decided to make a Professor Frazzled video just for them. 

This video shares 5 tips to help students succeed in an online class. And, of course, it also features a puppet. I hope you find this useful.
