Online Course Readiness

Online learning is a great option but it’s not for everyone. I can not support you with any of the technical skills for using Canvas as a learning tool. You need a computer, laptop, or Chromebook to engage well with the course. 

I highly recommend you explore the content and modules on the CCSF Canvas/Online Orientation linked below before starting the course. This will save you time and ensure your success in the course.

To learn about how Canvas works, you can do the following:

1.  Take the Passport to Canvas Course inside Canvas.

2.  Complete the modules and you're on your way to being successful in CDEV 120!
