Cool Tools in canvas
Design and set your Home Page to offer a welcoming
and informational message for the students.
Click on the Pages tool on the left and design away!
You can add pictures, links, text, or even
add a video of yourself – just about
anything. First, make sure you publish the
page. Then, click on the down arrow by
the gear and select Use as Front Page. Or
go to Home, select Choose Home Page on
the right, and select Pages, Front Page
and Save. Change it up and see what works!
Students can add files to Canvas, save them and they
can work on them from anywhere!
To access, they will click on their name or go to Settings
on the top right next to Inbox, and then select the Files tool
on the left.
The beauty of this is the drag and drop feature which is
available with the upload. Of course, faculty have the same
feature. Most students and faculty don’t even know they have
this great feature!
