Canvas
Did you know that Canvas can alert you when a student clicks on a broken link in your course? These notifications can help you catch and fix broken links quickly.
In this Quick Tip, we will discuss how instructors can add extra credit in their Canvas courses. It’s a question the RCID team has received from faculty regularly over the years, so we thought it would be good to share more broadly.
In this Quick Tip, we would like to showcase a few options for creating and delivering engaging announcements in your course.
In our last Quick Tip, we directed you to a helpful new resource for instructors as they consider course design and learning activities.
We are happy to promote a series of workshops offered by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Online team to further support those looking to apply the concepts from the Design, Build, and Teach pathways.
Introducing the new Design, Build, Teach Pathways, a series of asynchronous, self-paced Canvas courses that guide you through foundational concepts and best practices for online teaching. These courses have been designed to accommodate a variety of learning preferences with various options for participation.
By now, you’ve learned all about how to leverage Canvas Modules, Pages, and the Rich Content Editor (RCE) to improve how course materials are presented and how students view and interact with the content.
In this final installment, we are taking a look at the letter E in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Editor Tips and Tricks. We know that working with any online text editor can present some challenges, so we’d like to share the team’s favorite tips and tricks for working with the Rich Content Editor (RCE) more efficiently.
Welcome back to the IMPROVE series of Quick Tips. Today we’re looking at the letter V in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for UniVersal Design Tips. Okay, yes, we took some liberties with that one, but bear with us -- acronyms are tricky to come up with!
We’ve focused the last few weeks on creating page content via text and various kinds of media. We’ve touched on accessibility throughout, but we wanted to take a week to highlight universal design strategies that can help make your Canvas content accessible not only for those with differing abilities, but for ALL learners.
Welcome back to Part 5 of our IMPROVE series. We’re on to the letter O in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Other Content Types.
Last time, we discussed how to use the Rich Content Editor (RCE) to present textual content within Pages in your Canvas courses. In Part 5, we will expand on embedding other types of content and media.
Welcome back to Part 4 of our IMPROVE series. We’re on to the letter R in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Rich Content Editor (RCE).
So far, we’ve created a modular course structure and begun creating individual Pages to house our content. Now it’s finally time to start adding the text, files, links, images, videos, and more that make up your online course content.
Welcome back to Part 3 of our IMPROVE series. We’re on to the letter P in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Pages!
We’ve spent a lot of time talking about Modules so far, and for good reason -- they create the overall structure of the course content. Now that we have established that structure, we can move into creating the content for those modules. In this post, we will discuss the purpose of Pages, how to create them, and how to add them to your modules.
