Hello;

I am using the Canvas Free-For-Teacher account as part of an experiment for my dissertation for my doctorate. I have created modules for college students to access and I need help with the following issues.

  • I have set up my course for open enrollment and have students click the appropriate link to enroll. I want students to be able to sign into my course as many times as needed to complete the modules.  However, when testing this out once the student is enrolled; the person gets an email to finish enrolling by setting up a password. But when the person tries to use the password, the password does not work, and the person cannot get back into my Canvas course a second time. Please tell me what steps I should follow to correct this?

 

  • Is there a way for students to just see my modules when they sign onto Canvas and not see the homepage or the dashboard?

 

  • My plan is to create a website, and place a link to Canvas onto the website, along with a few other links. Is it possible to place my free-for-teacher Canvas link onto a website for students taking part in my experiment to access?

 

  • I want to make it so that students must complete Module1 Before they can start module 2, then they must complete module 2 before they can start module 3… and so on. I have tried using the prerequisites, but it doesn’t seem to work very well. What can I do so students have to complete one module before they start the next module?

Looking forward to your prompt reply.

Thanks so much.

Sincerely,

Terry

Hello @TerryDowning-Ha ...

I can help to answer a few of your questions:

Is there a way for students to just see my modules when they sign onto Canvas and not see the homepage or the dashboard?

Generally speaking, students should always be presented with the Canvas Dashboard as the first thing they would see after signing in to Canvas.  The Dashboard is where students can access all their classes that they are enrolled in...as well as seeing some initial information like "Recent Feedback" for any courses students are enrolled in.  There are other Dashboard views that a student may want to use as well.  Regarding your course homepage, you can configure that a few different ways to set it to a view that you want your students to see when they log into your course.  This is detailed in the following Guide:

My plan is to create a website, and place a link to Canvas onto the website, along with a few other links. Is it possible to place my free-for-teacher Canvas link onto a website for students taking part in my experiment to access?

I'd recommend only placing a link to https://canvas.instructure.com/ on your website.

I want to make it so that students must complete Module1 Before they can start module 2, then they must complete module 2 before they can start module 3… and so on. I have tried using the prerequisites, but it doesn’t seem to work very well. What can I do so students have to complete one module before they start the next module?

You'll want to use module prerequisites.  To set this up, you would go to Module 2 to set up the prerequisites that Module 1 would need to be completed before students can start on Module 2.  Then, go to Module 3 and set up the prerequisites to choose Module 2.  Here is a Guide for that as well:

I hope this information will be helpful for you.  Hopefully someone else will be able to chime in with respect to your first question.
