If you have taught this course before? Copy your Canvas course from a previous term.
If you have not set up your course in Canvas before, use the ETS Starter Template. Our ETS Starter shell helps to create a uniform learning experience for students. Watch the video to learn more about our template.
Elements of the starter course can be tailored to specific course needs while maintaining continuity and preserving a more continuous learning experience for students. It helps you create a format in Canvas that is consistent from the beginning to the end of the course. It guides you in structuring the modules and designing pages that are intuitive and easy to navigate. It lays out the key pieces that you should consider including in your assignments. Email us and we will enable the template in your course.
As you set up your course also make sure to:
- Prepare your readings in Library Online Course Reserves.
- Update relevant course dates using Canvas Calendar.
- Publish your course so students can access it.
