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

Shoot me your email, and I will get you added.

I am not an Instructure employee, and so cannot access your email address from the back end.

I just stumbled upon this while researching a question.  This sound like a great resource.  I would like teacher access please.

Thank you.

Would someone add me to the Canvas Hacks classroom. Thank you!

Shoot me your email address, and I will happily do so. Not being one of the Community Coaches, I cannot access these through a backdoor.

Thank you, Kelly.  Should I be looking out for an invitation?  Or should I follow a link somewhere to find the course? I have never joined a public Canvas course before. Will I be able to log in with the Canvas credentials I use for my school and the Canvas Community, or will I need to create a separate account?  Sorry for all the newbie questions.

Thanks,

Chelsie

[jbrady2]

873179959​ You will actually need to create an account at https://resources.instructure.com/, but you should also receive an invitation.  I believe I received one when invited to the course.

[873179959]

Thank you so much,  @jbrady2 ! I have created an account at resources.instructure.com, but it wouldn't let me use the previous email I provided since it is already associated with my institution's Canvas account.  That is perhaps why the invitation didn't come through when  @kmeeusen  added me.

Sorry to be a pain!  Could someone please add me as a teacher with cruge@du.edu  Thank you very much!

[kmeeusen]

Hi Chelsie:

I checked the course roster and you were originally added with the email you originally provided, and an invite was sent.

I have since added you with the new email address, with a teacher role.

Do you want me to remove your original enrollment?

klm

[873179959]

HI Kelly,

Thank you.  I was able to get in with the new email address that is linked to my resources.instructure.com account.  You can go ahead and remove chelsie.ruge@du.edu

Thank you,

Chelsie

[kmeeusen]

Great Chelsie!

[cla_favero]

Hi,

sorry to bother everyone, but I have had the same problem, it won't let me access with my institutional canvas account.

Could I please have a teacher or student access on cla.favero@gmail.com?

Thank you so much and sorry for the confusion.

Best

Claudia

[scottdennis]

Hi Claudia, I just sent you an invite for a teacher enrollment.  Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks, Scott

[kmeeusen]

Claudia:

It won't work with your institutions login credentials, because this classroom is not on your institution's Canvas instance.

It should prompt you to create a Resources at Instructure account - which is where this course lives: https://resources.instructure.com/courses/443

I hope this helps,

klm

[cla_favero]

Thank you so much. It works perfectly now, very useful, thank you!!!!

Hi,Thanks so much for creating a space like this!  I would love to have teacher access.  I'm a novice myself, but I recently got neck deep in learning to use the html editor when our instructional support team worked on developing a standard homepage for our department, and created a bunch of pages for our faculty resource portal. I customized and modified code from the Canvas style guide and from snippets shared in the community.  So, I might have something new to share!

chelsie.ruge@du.edu

Thanks!
