Ideas and Information about Modules

• Create placeholders in each Module (outline of instruction/course)
• Hierarchy of Canvas- Root Admin (Instructional Technology Specialist), Sub Account (School), Course, Sections
• All courses and enrollment are populated from PowerSchool automagically!
• Canvas modules do not allow for attendance to be taken.
• Canvas Inbox for email and Converse2 Google email are linked.
• Check the Commons for premade modules because reinventing the wheel...
• Naming conventions are key to an organized Canvas course especially when you copy courses year-to-year.
• Modules are attached to a course; all sections of the course are linked to the module. 
• Duplication of design in modules is important for consistency from course to course.
• When designing your modules, remember all the possible devices that will be used by you and your students to attain access.
• Once a module is prepared for the course, you must publish to make visible and accessible to all students.
• Always view "Student View" so that you know the end product that your students are receiving in their Canvas course. 
• Since Chrome and Java/Flash do not play nice, be aware of media that you place in your modules that may not upload correctly.
