Canvas Housekeeping Reminders

canvasThis is a friendly reminder to perform a little housekeeping in your Canvas account. June 27th is just a suggested “gitterdun by date”. You can add that to your calendar if it helps.

End of the Spring Quarter:

Since grades are turned in, it’s time to download your grade books to save the student data in case it’s needed in the future.  This is quick to do in Canvas and generates a .CSV file that can be opened in Excel.  Click here for detailed instructions.

Beginning of Summer Quarter:

Summer session begins on Monday, June 23 so remember to “Publish” your Canvas Course so students can access your content and receive your Announcements and Messages.  You can publish anytime, from now until 9 a.m. on Monday, June 23.   Click here for detailed instructions on publishing.

Canvas Draft State Training & Open Lab

canvasHave you heard that there is now a “Draft State” in Canvas?  Come and see what it’s all about at this training and Open Lab time.

“Draft State” is great change to the Canvas platform that makes it easy to truly hide content under development (ie: in a draft state).

If you can’t make it in person watch this overview video from Canvas and then contact eLearning Services if you have any questions!
