Powering Up Your Canvas Course: Canvas Beginner Essentials

After Year Five of our Canvas implementation, teachers are still reluctant to really dive in and use it to its fullest. These Beginner Essentials take a brand new user

or one who has had it on the back shelf for years
                  ...and years...
                             and some more years.... 

from how to add a professional profile picture to using the scheduler. 

I've tried to think through a "best practices" flow for teachers to follow. These are just my ideas and how I think teachers can take steps to use Canvas. Feel free to post your ideas and how I might make adjustments!

I really like how you've created short summaries and made it super simple for people to know where to go to read more via links to Guides.  Well done!

If I could make a few suggestions:

  • #5 points to the student Guide instead of the instructor Guide: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12896-4152719654
  • #5 - It might be helpful to indicate "All Courses" can be accessed this way: Courses >> All Courses
  • #7 - The color overlay can be removed.  It's covered in the "Manage Image" section near the bottom of the Guide you have linked.  Maybe there wasn't enough room in your text box to cover that, too?
