Canvas

FAQs

What can only teachers see versus what students can see on Canvas?

Whatever is unpublished is not viewable to students. Only ‘published’ material is available to students. Instructors can see exactly what students are able to view by using the “Student View” feature on the main Canvas page of your course. This button is located on the right side of the page for courses and provides a preview of content that is currently viewable for students.

How do I view ALL of my courses on Canvas?

What kind of files can be uploaded to Canvas and how big of a file size?

Modules
Modules are used to organize course content by weeks, units, or whatever organizational structure works for your course. With Modules, you are essentially creating a one-directional linear flow of what you would like your students to do.

Assignments are a category of items that are graded, including quizzes, graded discussions, as well as online submissions (files, images, etc.).
Assignments can be assigned to everyone in a course, certain sections/groups, or specific users who may need accommodations.
Assignments have availability dates, which is the window of time they are available to students, as well as a due date, which indicates if an assignment was submitted late or not.

When you assign a due date to an assignment or quiz, it automatically shows up in the Calendar. You are given the option to assign a due date when you newly create or edit an existing assignment or quiz.

Imagine an LMS as a digital hub for learning. It's like a virtual classroom and administrative office rolled into one.

Here's a simplified breakdown:

Course organization: It helps teachers and administrators set up and organize courses in a virtual environment. Think of it like a digital course catalog where students can easily find what they need.
Sharing resources: Teachers can upload lesson materials, like presentations and documents, for students to access whenever they need them.
Quizzes & assignments: Teachers can create online quizzes and assignments, and the system can grade them automatically.
Communication: Students and teachers can communicate through messaging systems and discussion boards.
Tracking progress: The system keeps track of students' progress and performance, providing insights for teachers and administrators.

An LMS makes teaching and learning more convenient, organized, and efficient by bringing everything together in one digital space.
