Courses and assignments, best viewed from the Modules page where all of the course's lessons are listed
The Alert Bell report, which lists assignments more than 24 hours overdue.
The Calendar where daily graded assignments are scheduled
Grade books for each course with
Real time grades for individual assignments that do not require manual grading
A real time overall average for each course (not including scores for ungraded submissions that require manual grading)
Canvas notations and icons that indicate that an assignment is missing (i.e., has not been submitted on time or that was reset by the teacher for resubmission), has feedback from the teacher, etc.
Teachers' Live Session rooms (online classrooms for live instruction and tutoring)
UVA's online library
Student account files, which provide information and instructions related to state-mandated testing, etc.*

Notice the following differences:
- Student account files are not available in the Observer account.
- The Missing Submissions report is not available in the student account.*

It is important to understand that Canvas Pavilion does not provide extensive Canvas training.
It is important to understand that Canvas Pavilion does not provide extensive Canvas training.
Instead, you are to have completed "Phase II -- Canvas Training" in the UVA Onboarding Course before advancing to this section of your training. It is very important that you and your child complete the full Canvas training course. It only takes an hour or so, and it will make Canvas a much easier platform to use.
If you did not complete the Canvas training prior to navigating to this section, please contact your Learning Coach Partner before proceeding so you can be guided to the training that you need. The remainder of Canvas Pavilion will not be meaningful otherwise.
