For Teachers
How to Cross-List Your Classes - put all of the same sections together into one big class so that you only have to make changes or upload files once - not required but a HUGE time saver during the semester - MUST be done before the semester starts - DO NOT Cross-List after any student has a grade in the gradebook as all grades will be lost in the process
How to Re-Cross-List a Class - if you made a mistake when Cross-Listing your classes by putting a section into the wrong class, then you can fix your error by re-cross-listing your class into the correct class.
*** How to Import Course Content and Commons - save yourself a lot of work by importing shells that have already been created for you by CCSD
How to Link Google Forms in Canvas - only use if you already have your Google Form created. If you do not have a Google Form already created, it is better to create your assignment/quiz/survey in Canvas directly.
How to Embed Google Assignments - so that each student gets their own copy of the file
How to Embed a Word File in Canvas - file needs to be uploaded into your OneDrive account. For CCSD users, you may need to sign in using the following format ADUsername@AD.ccsd.net
How to Create Online Office Hours in Canvas Using Google Hangouts Meet
How to Embed Videos in Canvas - can be embedded in Announcements, Assignments, Calendar Events, Discussions, etc.(Might not be visible using mobile devices… at least they don’t work using my iPhone X. So, I provided a direct link for those that cannot watch the embedded video.)
How to Set Requirements/Prerequisites for Modules - for example, if I wanted my students to watch a video, then take a video quiz, and then do the homework BEFORE they are allowed to take the quiz on the material.
How to Give an Individual Student an Extra Attempt on a Quiz - for example, if I limit the number of attempts on a quiz and the student has a technology issue outside of his/her control (like when Canvas automatically submits the quiz before the student has had the opportunity to answer the first question), then I give that individual student an extra attempt on the quiz
How to Create Multiple Versions of a Test in Canvas Using TestGen - for math teachers, but it works the same way if you have software that can generate a QTI file.
