Remote Teaching: Deliver Content through Canvas

Ideas: Post readings, web-based resources, updated syllabus and class schedule to your Canvas course.

• You can create modules and add files directly to those modules. 
  • How do I create modules?
  • How do I upload a file to a course?
• If you have a lot of files and content to share with students, consider creating a Page and then linking the files within the Page. This will allow you to organize the content on the Page by adding text headings (e.g., Readings, Activities) and not overwhelm students with a lot of content in a module.
  • How do I create a new page in a course?
  • How do I add pages as module items? 
• You can add links to web-based resources to Modules in Canvas or add them to Pages. 
  • How do I add an external URL as a module item?

Ideas: Create a screen recording of a narrated PowerPoint as mini-lecture or brief introduction to the content, create a short webcam video to provide an overview of what is happening this week and upcoming deadlines or to answer student questions. Record a screen recording demonstration (e.g., Excel, editing tips, software demo) to share with students.

• Faculty may use Kaltura/My Media in Canvas to present content
• Keep these recordings short (recommended no more than 10 minutes).
