Hello, I wanted to talk about somethings that I like about canvas that I have learned the past few days. Firstly I appreciate how easy it is to reach instructors and peers. Being able to reach others so easily makes me feel better about asking for help so I don't have to wait for hours to get the help I need. I also like that there are resources for us to use to remind us how to do certain formats and citations. It helps me be more productive that everything I need is in one area and I don't have to spend time searching google for it. lastly the Turnitin tool is so unique and useful to make sure I am getting a good grade on my work and being sure I am putting things in my own words. My only concern is managing my time, I understand how to use canvas and do not have any questions about that. I hope that I will gain the knowledge to work with computers like I've always wanted to. I want to get a good job doing something I love.

Thank you @CarsonBosworth for your message. It sounds like your instructors are using Canvas well to provide you with the resources to help you succeed. Regarding time management, the California Virtual Campus - Online Education Initiative includes a module on this in its online student readiness tutorials:

Online Study Skills and Managing Time: OEI Online Readiness Tutorials

Practicing effective time management is something that can benefit all of us, whether our classes are online or not.
