Student Orientation Question

[CherylGoh]

Hey everyone,

For our Spring '25 orientation on Canvas, I'm looking to spread out the activities over a few weeks rather than a single intense week. Has anyone managed something like this, and does Canvas handle staggered content releases well?

Pls let me know.

Hello @CherylGoh - 

Yes, this is entirely doable using Canvas Modules. To do so edit the modules. Here is how:  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-lock-a-module/ta-p/1124 

I might also suggest applying prerequisites and requirements.  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-requirements-to-a-module/ta-p/1131 

Lock untilModule dates set

Oh, hey @CherylGoh 

Ah, spreading it out over a few weeks sounds way better than cramming everything into one! Umm, Canvas can definitely handle that. Have you looked at the Modules thing? You can, like, set dates for when each part shows up or make it so people have to finish one thing before the next pops up.

Do you think that would work for what you’re planning? Or, uh, is there something specific you’re worried about?
