Getting to Know Canvas
Before getting started on your course in Canvas it can be helpful to view the Canvas Overview video. This will provide a quick tour of the learning environment and introduce to you some commonly used Canvas terminology. While this will provide you with some basic information about Canvas, you can always access the Canvas Student Guides for a more detailed description of the tools and how to use them or self-enroll in the Canvas Student Introduction Course.

Calendar: You can use the Calendar tool to keep track of your due dates throughout the semester. From the Calendar tool, you will see all of your assignment due dates and upcoming events for each of your classes in one convenient location. You can also change your calendar view to see events by day, week, month, or agenda list. Assignments: The Assignments tool is where you will find quizzes, graded discussions, and online submissions (i.e. files, images, text, URLs, etc.). Links to individual assignments should be available from the course Home page. You can access them directly through the Assignments tool or the Syllabus tools from the course navigation menu. For a brief overview of the Calendar and Assignments tools watch the Assignments Overview video linked below. |
