You can think of the Canvas Dashboard like the school building. If you're taking multiple courses at our college, you will be able to find all of your classes here from the dashboard. Click on the 3 dots at the top right and make sure that Card View is selected, so you can see a list of your courses. Your courses will appear as tiles on the dashboard. You may only see one tile if you're only taking one course. 

For our course, find and select ESOL 520. Once you click on it, you will now be entering our virtual classroom. Welcome! :) 

Once you enter our course, take some time to explore. Click around and become familiar with the layout of our course.
