Editor's Notes
- Are you ready to get started? Are you ready to create your first course?
- If you have heard about Canvas, or any Learning Management System – or LMS – you may already know that a LMS is a way to offer your class materials outside your classroom walls and outside your classroom meeting times. You may even understand that if you put students into a class in a LMS they can electronically submit work to you. A third feature this LMS can offer you is the ability to easily create and contribute to courses with colleagues. You can refer to this course as your planning course or make your own copy of it and teach students with this content!
- So where can you find Canvas? Canvas is a LMS, a product of the company Instructure. Canvas is the LMS of many other institutions, and offers their own platform for Massive Open Online Courses too, but you can always use this URL, or web address, to find the Hall County instance of Canvas by Instructure. Chrome and Firefox Internet browsers provide the best experience. Also, any present or future portal page Hall County offers will have an icon for you to click and be sent to Canvas. Check out the URL, you might need it in a minute.
- (Hot spot the URL address bar and ask them to type in hallco.instructure.com) Okay, once you open a Chrome or Firefox Internet browser click in the Are to type a your web address or URL. Type hallco.instructure.com and press Enter. (Fly in: Need browser help? Start at browsehappy.com and ask for help from the teacher of this course if you still need help.)
- Do you realize you can start working in Canvas right now? (Fly in to add: If any one does NOT see the Start a New Course button they need to be a teacher in a course first) All courses this year are what we call “Manually Created” courses. That means you initiate them, no need to wait on some one else. Teachers can start working on their content for courses now and introduce that content to students later. You can set the course up however you want, even check out some different options to see the formats you think fit you and your students or content best.
- Consider moving files into a common course inclusive the other educators you plan with most often. If the other educators are also teachers in this planning course, they can copy any items into their own course which they might deliver to students, or otherwise use as their personal planning course.
- Welcome screen: Start New Course button Name Course, ignore terms/course code/SIS ID, “department” means your school
- Welcome screen: Enter the course name here. Please leave the content license as default Private. Please DO NOT check make course publically visible.
- Welcome screen: Type in a name for your course. When you are doing this in Canvas know that you can change the name later. A Course Code is automatically generated and is basically used in the breadcrumb trail when viewing the course. However, if you wanted to do so, you could manually enter that here as well.
- Start and End Dates can be left blank. You might opt to use them to limit finalize the end of access to the content at some point. If you do that the end date needs to be far enough in the future that students will no longer be accessing you class via Canvas, but before teachers need to submit grades to the official gradebook of Infinite Campus. For School Year 2016, the calendar states May 27th is the last day for teachers. The calendar also states May 25th is the last student day. If access is terminated at 12:01 AM the date you select, which date on the district calendar might you select as the end date for students?

- On the left, teacher view of the Course Navigation Menu, on the right student view of the same menu. Course Navigation Menu should show the limited items you want students to access.
- In order to change your Course Navigation Menu on the left-hand side of your Canvas course, Look under Settings and Click the Navigation tab.
- In order to change your Course Navigation Menu on the left-hand side of your Canvas course, drag and drop some features of the course into the lower table, hiding it from students.
- What is the difference between which course has Delete and which who does not? IC generated courses? Manual-created has both IC-generated has ONLY concluded.
- You have the capability of Concluding your own courses. These concluded courses will still appear in your Courses, just at the very bottom. If you conclude a course you are concluding your enrollment in the course as well – yikes- that means you will not be able to do anything else in the course. If you were to click Conclude this Course, let’s see what would happen.
- Concluding a course should happen at the courses end AND after you have all work from students and are completed modifying grades. While a course can be unconcluded, it will take some assistance to do so. Because one of the enrollments in the class you are concluding is your own! Click Cancel please.
