After 8+ years as Canvas Admin for Western Washington University, I’ve introduced hundreds of faculty, most with little or no experience with Instructure’s LMS, to their online course. It’s impossible to help a newcomer become an expert in their Canvas course in a one-hour consult, but I’ve found ways to provide a solid overview of course components in that first visit which helps them get comfortable with developing their course content.
Continuing the Back to Basics series with this one-take video, I wanted to share a few aspects of course assignments…perhaps there will be a tip you might not be aware of!
Do keep in mind - Instructure has fabulous online documentation about announcements for your reference:

Nice to have you on this journey as we revisit courses from a fresh perspective,
