Chapter 2: Building Your Canvas Course

This chapter will cover the foundations of building your Canvas course by creating the content your students will interact with during your course. We will start by discussing some of the important ideas to keep in mind when planning your course and conceptualizing how you will use Canvas for your unique situation. After this, we will learn how to import content from another course on Canvas or from another Learning Management System (LMS).

Next, we will work through how to add assignments and content to your course, specifically focusing on how to use the Rich Content Editor. We will then learn how to create discussions and quizzes within Canvas, and we will cover how to create assignment groups for weighted assignments.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Planning how you will use Canvas to deliver your course activities and content
  • Importing content from another Canvas course or another LMS
  • Creating assignments and using the Rich Content Editor
  • Creating discussions and quizzes
  • Creating assignment groups for weighted assignments

Technical requirements

To complete this chapter, you will need the following:

  • A computer with internet access
  • A Canvas account (see Chapter 1, Getting Started with Canvas)
  • An empty Canvas course (see Chapter 1, Getting Started with Canvas)
  • Course materials and content

Planning your course – from syllabus to screen

As you think about how to build and organize your Canvas course, there are a number of topics to consider that will impact the way you will use Canvas to manage your course content. The following questions and prompts will help you determine the approaches you might consider while building your course.

What kind of course am I teaching?

  • A traditional, in-person course
  • A fully online course with most or all of the activities to be completed asynchronously
  • A live course with online expectations (for example, assignment submissions, discussion board postings, video assignments, and peer reviews)
  • A hybrid course with a combination of in-person, synchronous remote students, and/or asynchronous remote students

What do I need to do to get the course content into a format that is suitable for Canvas?

  • The course is brand new. I have not taught the course before in any format, so I need to find and sequence the course content before I begin building my Canvas course.
  • I have taught the course previously as a traditional, in-person course. The content is already organized in a syllabus, so the bulk of my work will be adapting activities and resources to an online format for my Canvas course.
  • I have taught the course previously as an online course using another LMS. The content is already organized in a syllabus and I have all of the content in an electronic format. I need to import and organize the course content into Canvas.
  • I have taught the course previously, either in-person or online, using another LMS. The content is already organized in a syllabus, so I will need to adapt activities and resources to an online format and/or import the course content from another LMS.

What purpose will Canvas serve in the day-to-day life of my course?

  • Canvas will be a supplement to the in-person classes where students can access the assigned content and communicate with their peers and me.
  • Canvas will be the sole platform for a fully online course. Students will interact with all of the content, other students, and me via Canvas.
  • Canvas will facilitate a variety of in-person and online activities in addition to housing supplementary content and streamlining communication.

How will students interact with Canvas?

  • Students will use Canvas as a supplement to the in-person course in which they are participating. They will have access to a hard copy of everything they need in class, but they can also access the material on Canvas. They will check Canvas to see their grades for the various assignments that they will turn in to me during class.
  • Students will use Canvas to participate in an online course. They will access the course content, submit assignments electronically, and communicate primarily through Canvas.
  • Students will use Canvas for the administrative aspects of their in-person course. They will access content via Canvas, and they may have the option to complete activities and submit assignments in class or through Canvas.

How will I interact with Canvas?

  • I will post the material we cover in class on Canvas for students to access remotely (for example, the course syllabus, in-class presentations, class notes, readings, and assignment instructions). I will post grades to Canvas, and I may communicate comments and feedback in person or through Canvas.
  • I will teach the entire course using Canvas. I will post content for students to explore, facilitate online instruction, collect, and grade assignments, and communicate feedback to students via Canvas.
  • I will use the features of Canvas to enhance the experiences that students have during class. I will post core and supplemental content, links to third-party apps, create assignments for electronic submission, and communicate with students via Canvas in addition to face-to-face interactions.

Your answers to these questions will vary depending on your situation, and the options listed in the preceding points are only common suggestions; you may have any combination of the preceding situations present in your workload. A vital aspect of successfully utilizing the capabilities of Canvas is determining what your needs are; once you determine what you need to accomplish, you can use this book to help yourself meet your goals.

If you are using Canvas to teach a course that you have taught in the past with an existing syllabus, what you already have is a great place to start. Think about the sequence of the content, the various types of projects and assignments, as well as the assessment and grading strategies you have used. Canvas can play as large or small a role as you need for any of these elements of your syllabus based on your answers to the preceding questions.

As an example, let's discuss adapting activities and resources to an online format. If you need to obtain electronic versions of resources you use in your classes, check the copyright laws regarding the educational use of materials for your country. In some cases, you may be able to scan content and upload it so students have instant access to the content directly through Canvas. You can then sequence the content within Canvas so students access it in the order you desire. Alternatively, you can have your students purchase e-book or hard copy editions of your chosen textbooks.

Canvas has many features that can allow you to adapt and restructure traditional live activities, including discussions, critiques, peer reviews, or collaborations into an online format. You may also have or be able to find a variety of online resources and interactive activities to integrate into your Canvas course. As you become more familiar with the capabilities of Canvas in the coming chapters, you will gain a better understanding of how you can utilize the features of Canvas for your course. However, the more planning you put into your course before you start building it, the more effective your use of Canvas is likely to be.

As more and more schools have adopted and begun to use LMSs in recent years, you have probably encountered another LMS in the time you've been an educator. You may have taught courses using these other systems in the past. If that's the case, the following section will help you import content from your previous courses in other systems into Canvas. If you are building your course from scratch or have not used another LMS when teaching your course previously, you are welcome to skip to the following sections on adding assignments and other content to your course.

Importing content from another course

If you would like to import content from another LMS or Canvas course, the design of Canvas makes it quite easy to do so. When you open your newly created course (remember that it's listed under Courses on the left Global Navigation menu), you will be taken to the home page of your new course. On the left, you will see the Course Navigation menu with a variety of pages, and on the right, you will see the Course Status indicating that your course is unpublished. Below this status are several options listed for setting up your course, as shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 2.1 – Course Status and a list of setup options

Figure 2.1 – Course Status and a list of setup options

This list of options can serve as a helpful guide that ensures that all of the essential elements of your course are up and running before you publish the course and allow students to access the content.

The first step in importing content from another Canvas course or LMS is to export or extract that content from its original host site. Exporting content is different for every LMS, but the option to export an entire course is usually found in the course settings. Consult your IT department or the technology support for the host site if you need help exporting. We will cover how to export a course from Canvas in Chapter 8, Now You're Ready!, once we have finished building your course.

To import content into your course, complete the following steps:

  1. Export your course content from its original host site, and then make sure that you save the exported file to an easily accessible location on your computer (for example, your Desktop or your Documents folder).

    Important note

    One of the most common file formats for an exported course is the .zip file format. Files with a .zip extension contain a file or group of files that have been compressed for easy transportation between programs or devices. Think of it as a suitcase; rather than transporting four outfits individually for a trip, you zip them all together in a suitcase for easy transportation.

  2. Navigate to the home page of your course and click on Import Existing Content on the right Sidebar menu, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.2 – Import Existing Content button

    Figure 2.2 – Import Existing Content button

  3. On the page that appears, you will see the Import Content heading with a drop-down menu next to Content Type. From the drop-down menu, choose the type of content you would like to import by selecting the file type and management system you have used in the past. For example, if you have an exported course from Blackboard or Moodle, choose the option that corresponds to the LMS with which you have created the course export file. The following screenshot displays the options you may choose from:
    Figure 2.3 – Content Type options

    Figure 2.3 – Content Type options

  4. Once you have selected your Content Type, options will appear that will guide you through uploading your content bundle.

    Follow the instructions that appear for the type of content you are importing and check any relevant adjustment options. In most cases, you will see an option to upload the content bundle from your computer.

  5. Select the appropriate content bundle file from your computer. You may see other options appear below the Content Type drop-down menu that include the ability to adjust the course's start and end dates or the assignment due dates. Select these options if you wish and enter the appropriate dates. You may also see options to select specific content that you would like to import to Canvas; check this option if you wish to upload only certain sections or files from your previous course.
  6. Once you have selected the content bundle file to import and have selected the desired adjustment options, click on Import. From there, you will see your course import appear under Current Jobs at the bottom of the import screen.
  7. You will see a progress bar appear, and once your import is finished, you will be able to see that the import is complete and you can navigate back to the course's home page.

On the Course Navigation menu on the left, you can click through the navigation links to explore the content that has been imported. The Assignments or Files pages are the most common places for the imported content to appear, so feel free to click on those links to explore where your content has been imported.

Note

It is important to go through your imported course content carefully once your import has finished, especially if you are importing course content from different LMSs. You should ensure, for example, that all content is in the location you want, all due dates are set appropriately, and certain content is published (or unpublished) based on your needs for the start of your course.

The following sections will cover how to add to, adjust, modify, rearrange, or delete the content that you have now successfully imported. We'll begin by looking at how to create and edit a new assignment within Canvas, which will teach you many of the skills needed to update any content you may have imported.

Creating assignments

The bulk of building a course in Canvas is creating your activities and setting up the grading preferences to accurately reflect the expectations for your course. As we discussed, the more planning that goes into your course before you begin building it, the easier it will be for you to assemble your course. Once you have developed your syllabus, identify the assignments and grading policies you would like to put into action for your course. When you have developed the graded content for your course in the abstract, you can begin building each assignment within your Canvas course.

While there are several different types of activities you can create with Canvas, let's start by exploring how to add assignments.

Adding an assignment

The following section will walk you through creating assignments for your course. As we work through the options available to you, you will learn the variety of purposes the assignments may serve within your course. To create your first assignment, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Assignments page of your course on the left Course Navigation menu.
  2. This will bring you to the assignment list for your course, which you will notice is empty (unless you have imported assignments from another course or LMS). Click on the + Assignment icon in the top-right corner to begin creating your first assignment, as seen in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.4 – Adding an assignment using the + Assignment button

    Figure 2.4 – Adding an assignment using the + Assignment button

  3. This will bring you to a new assignment page, which includes options to Name your assignment and type instructions/requirements for the assignment. You can go ahead and name your first assignment and then type or paste your instructions/requirements into the textbox. Above the textbox, you will notice the various formatting and embedding options of the Rich Content Editor, which we will discuss further in the Rich Content Editor section later in this chapter.
  4. Once you have entered the name and instructions/requirements for your assignment, you will see options below to set the number of Points for your assignment. Go ahead and enter the number of points you would like to use for the assignment.
  5. Below the Points option is the ability to designate the Assignment Group. For now, leave this option on Assignments (which displays as the default option). We will learn how to set up assignment groups in the final sections of this chapter.
  6. Below the Assignment Group option is a drop-down to Display Grade as your desired type of grade. You can choose your preferred grading type from the options shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.5 – Grading type options

    Figure 2.5 – Grading type options

  7. Below the Display Grade as drop-down, you are able to indicate how students will submit their work in the Submission Type section.

    The top of this section includes a drop-down with the options shown in the following screenshot:

    Figure 2.6 – Submission Type options

    Figure 2.6 – Submission Type options

    Choose No Submission if students will not need to submit work to you (for example, if you will be grading an in-class activity such as a presentation, group discussion, or debate).

    Choose Online if you want students to submit their work to you through Canvas. Choosing this submission type will display several other checkbox options that allow you to choose what students are able to submit.

    Check the Text Entry checkbox if you want students to be able to type their work directly into Canvas to submit.

    Check the Website URL checkbox if you want students to be able to share a link to a website as their submission.

    Check the Media Recordings checkbox if you want students to be able to make an audio or video recording as their submission.

    Check the File Uploads checkbox if you want students to be able to upload a file as their submission. The File Uploads option also allows you to Restrict Upload File Types so you can limit the types of files students can upload (for example, you can limit submissions to .pdf or .docx files if you do not want students to upload a video or audio file as their submission). You can select as many of these options as you wish depending on the types of content you want students to be able to submit.

    Choose On Paper if you want students to submit their work to you physically.

    Choose External Tool if you want to connect an external tool that is configured with Basic LTI. We will discuss integrations such as this further in Chapter 6, Utilizing and Integrating Apps.

  8. Below the Submission Type option is a drop-down to allow unlimited or limited Submission Attempts. If you select Limited, you can adjust how many times you will permit students to submit work for this assignment, as shown in the following screenshot. If you select Unlimited, students will be able to submit as many times as they want:
    Figure 2.7 – Submission Attempts limited to three attempts

    Figure 2.7 – Submission Attempts limited to three attempts

  9. Below the Submission Attempts option, you will see the option to make the assignment a Group Assignment. If you click on the checkbox next to This is a Group Assignment, a pop-up window will appear that will allow you to create a set of groups for the assignment, specify how you would like to form the groups, and decide how you would like to structure each group. The following screenshot shows you the options available in the pop-up window:
    Figure 2.8 – Group assignment options

    Figure 2.8 – Group assignment options

    Once you have entered Group Set Name, decided whether students can sign-up for groups using the Self Sign-Up option, and selected Group Structure and completed any additional settings that appear, click Save. When the pop-up window is closed, you will see an Assign Grades to Each Student Individually checkbox. You can check or uncheck this box at will—check this box if you would like to assign individual grades or leave it unchecked to assign the same grade to all students in a group.

  10. Below the Group Assignment checkbox is a checkbox to require Peer Reviews. If you would like to require students to review their peers' work, you can check the box next to Require Peer Reviews. When you check the peer review box, you will see the Manually Assign Peer Reviews or Automatically Assign Peer Reviews options. For manual peer reviews, you will receive a notification to assign a peer reviewer to each assignment as it is submitted. Alternatively, you can set up the assignment so that Canvas automatically makes peer assignments at the time of submission. You can also make reviews anonymous by checking off the box next to Peer Reviews Appear Anonymously.
  11. Below the Peer Reviews checkbox, you can choose to enable Anonymous Grading by checking the checkbox next to Graders cannot view student names. This feature may be helpful in encouraging fairness and consistency in grading or for classes with teaching assistants who may be grading student work. You will notice that anonymous grading is not available for group assignments, only for individual assignments.
  12. The final settings section of the assignment allows you to choose when and to whom you will Assign the work. You can choose to give the assignment to everyone in a class, to sections of a class, or to specific students within a class. You can set the Due date and indicate the dates when the assignment will be Available from to students. Students will still be able to submit late work after the Due date you select, but they will not be able to submit work after the final Available from date you select has passed. Sample content for these options is shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.9 – Sample Assign options

    Figure 2.9 – Sample Assign options

  13. Once you have entered all of the instructions/requirements for your assignment and selected all of your preferred settings, you can click the Save button to create your assignment, or the Save & Publish button to create your assignment and make it available to students immediately. For now, let's click Save and plan to publish the assignment later on.

After you click Save, you have officially created your assignment! This assignment will now show up in the course calendar and in the Gradebook with the due date and assignment settings you have chosen.

Note

Throughout the graded assignments and activities features of Canvas, you may see the words Grade or Mark used interchangeably depending on your language settings and the regional version of English that is selected. Depending on your preference, you may update your language settings as we discussed in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Canvas.

Editing an assignment

After you have created your first assignment, you will see the assignment page for your newly created assignment. You can always access this page by clicking Assignments on the left Course Navigation menu, and then clicking the title of the assignment. To edit the assignment, click on the Edit button at the top-right corner of the assignment page, as shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 2.10 – Edit button on an individual assignment page

Figure 2.10 – Edit button on an individual assignment page

This will open the same editing page for your assignment that you used when you created the assignment. You can also edit an assignment by going to the Assignments page on the left Course Navigation menu, clicking the three vertical dots icon next to the assignment you want to edit, and selecting Edit from the menu that appears, as shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 2.11 – Edit button on the course's Assignments page showing all assignments

Figure 2.11 – Edit button on the course's Assignments page showing all assignments

In the pop-up window that appears, you can click More Options at the bottom to open the same editing page you used to create the assignment.

As mentioned above, when creating or editing an assignment, you have many options to format and embed content using the Rich Content Editor above the textbox on the editing page. This helpful tool also appears throughout Canvas in other places, so let's spend some time familiarizing ourselves with the Rich Content Editor.

Using the Rich Content Editor

The Rich Content Editor allows you to customize the formatting and embed additional content into what you are posting. Formatting involves the presentation of the content (for example, the alignment, spacing, indentation, and font color). The Rich Content Editor also allows you to do things such as insert a link, create a table, or upload media content (such as audio or video). If you hover your mouse over the icons in the Rich Content Editor, you will see a description of what each button does.

Note

The following sections discuss most of the main features and tools available in most instances of the Rich Content Editor. If you are using an institutional instance of Canvas, your school may have additional features enabled that may appear on your Rich Content Editor, or some of the functions we are about to discuss may be removed from your Rich Content Editor. You may also have additional features available if you have outside apps integrated into your Canvas account, which we will discuss further in Chapter 6, Using and Integrating Apps.

As we familiarize ourselves with the Rich Content Editor, either create a new assignment or edit an existing assignment to view the Rich Content Editor above the textbox of the assignment you are viewing. All of the icons and features discussed in the next two sections are also available on the drop-down menu options above the Rich Content Editor that are shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 2.12 – Rich Content Editor drop-down options

Figure 2.12 – Rich Content Editor drop-down options

Let's look at the options available when you click on each icon shown in the Rich Content Editor.

Basic formatting

The icons along the top- and bottom-right of the Rich Content Editor allow you to adjust the basic formatting of the text you wish to edit, as shown by the brackets in the following screenshot:

Figure 2.13 – Basic formatting tools in the Rich Content Editor

Figure 2.13 – Basic formatting tools in the Rich Content Editor

You may be familiar with most of these icons, as they are standard across many text editing and word processing programs. Again, you can hover your mouse over each icon to see a description of what each button will do. These basic formatting options adjust the appearance of the text within the textbox, including options for font size, paragraph style, bold, italics, underline, text color, background color, superscripts, alignment, lists, indents, and clear formatting.

Embedding content

The icons indicated by the brackets in the following screenshot allow you to embed items into the textbox by navigating through the pop-up options that appear when you click on each icon:

Figure 2.14 – Embed content options in the Rich Content Editor

Figure 2.14 – Embed content options in the Rich Content Editor

The following sections describe each icon from left to right.

The Links feature

The Links feature allows you to insert a hyperlink for an External Link that will open a different website in a new tab or window in your web browser, or a Course Link that will take the user to another part of your course, such as a content page or assignment. The easiest way to insert an external link is to copy and paste the link into the Rich Content Editor textbox and then hit the spacebar, and it will automatically be converted into a link. Alternatively, you can click on the Links icon to add a link or change plain text to a link.

To create an External Link, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Links icon or click the drop-down arrow next to the Links icon and click on External Link from the drop-down menu that appears.
  2. You will see a pop-up menu with a box at the top to enter the Text you would like the link to appear as (for example, Article to Read if the link is an article that students should read) and then a box to paste the Link you would like users to visit as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.15 – Link to URL feature

    Figure 2.15 – Link to URL feature

  3. Once you have entered the text you would like to display and have pasted the web address in the box, click on Done. This will display the link you have pasted as a clickable link in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

You can also highlight plain text you have already typed and then click on the Links icon to change the plain text to a link. In this case, the selected text will open the web address, but the full URL will not be displayed in the main textbox. This allows you to embed links into written content without interrupting the aesthetic of the written content with a cumbersome web address.

If you would like to link directly to another part of your Canvas course, you can create a Course Link by completing the following steps:

  1. Click the drop-down arrow next to the Links icon and click on Course Link from the drop-down menu that appears.
  2. On the right side of your screen, a menu will open that lists out all of the linkable content in your course. You can link to several content options, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.16 – Course Link options

    Figure 2.16 – Course Link options

  3. Use the search bar at the top or click the drop-down arrow next to each option to view the content or course locations you can link to, select the desired option, and then your link will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.
  4. If you would like to link to a file you have already uploaded to your course, click the drop-down option next to the Links icon, click Course Links, and then click on the menu that appears on the right. Click the drop-down option at the top and select Files instead of Links, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.17 – Course link to a file

    Figure 2.17 – Course link to a file

  5. From there, you can search for the filename using the search feature at the top or find the file in your course folders that appear below the search feature. Select the desired option and a link to the file will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

    Note

    If you paste the URL to a video hosted on YouTube followed by a space or return, the Rich Content Editor will automatically embed a thumbnail of the video into the textbox. This allows users to click on the thumbnail and watch the video within the assignment or content page rather than opening a new tab or window in the web browser.

Next, let's take a look at the Images feature that allows you to embed an image.

The Images feature

The Images feature allows you to embed images from a variety of sources into the textbox. When you click on the Images icon, you will see a pop-up menu with three tabs at the top – the Computer, Unsplash, and URL tabs. Each of these tabs offers you a way to embed an image.

The Computer tab allows you to upload an image from your device. To add an image from your computer, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Images icon on the Rich Content Editor.
  2. You will see a pop-up window as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.18 – Computer image pop-up window

    Figure 2.18 – Computer image pop-up window

  3. As explained in the pop-up window, you can drag-and-drop an image from your computer to the Upload Image area where the spaceship appears, or you can click in the Upload Image area to browse your computer to find the image file.
  4. Once you have dragged or located the image file you wish to upload, the image will appear in the pop-up window. Below the image, you can set the Attributes of the image by providing an Alt Text description of the image to ensure accessibility, check the box to indicate if it is a Decorative Image, and then select either Embed Image in the textbox or Display Text Link so that users can open the image in a different tab.
  5. Click Submit at the bottom of the pop-up, and your image will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

The Unsplash tab allows you to search for and embed an image from Unsplash, which is a service that provides high-quality, free stock photos that are available for use. To add an image from Unsplash, complete the following steps:

  1. Click on the Images icon on the Rich Content Editor.
  2. In the pop-up window that appears, click on the Unsplash tab at the top, which is displayed in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.19 – Unsplash image search

    Figure 2.19 – Unsplash image search

  3. Use the Search Term box to search for images that are available for use through Unsplash. Once you find an image you wish to use, click on it to select it.
  4. Once you have selected your image, you can complete the Attributes sections below the image as we discussed previously when uploading an image from your computer.
  5. Click Submit at the bottom of the pop-up, and your image will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

The URL tab allows you to paste the URL of an image that already exists online and embed the image. To add an image from a URL, find the direct link to the image online that you want to embed and then perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Images icon on the Rich Content Editor.
  2. Click on the URL tab and paste the link for your image into the File URL box at the top, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.20 – URL image option

    Figure 2.20 – URL image option

  3. Complete the Attributes sections below the image as we discussed previously when uploading an image from your computer.
  4. Click Submit at the bottom of the pop-up, and your image will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

In addition to the preceding methods of adding an image just described, you can also add images that you have already uploaded to your course or elsewhere in your Canvas account. To add images in this manner, complete the steps below:

  1. Click the drop-down menu next to the Images icon on the Rich Content Editor.
  2. Choose either Course Images to add an image already included elsewhere in your course, or choose User Images to add an image already included elsewhere in your Canvas account. This drop-down menu is shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.21 – Other image options

    Figure 2.21 – Other image options

  3. Each option will open a menu on the right side of your screen that will display all of the images available either from your course or from your account. Choose the image you want to add by clicking on it.
  4. The image will be embedded in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor as soon as you click on it.

The next feature in the Rich Content Editor allows you to record or upload media that will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

The Record/Upload Media feature

The Record/Upload Media feature allows you to record or upload audio and video and then embed that media into the textbox. When you click on the Record/Upload Media icon, you will see a pop-up menu with two tabs – the Computer and Record Media tabs.

If you have media on your computer that you would like to upload to your course, you can do so using the Computer tab. To upload and embed video or audio, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Record/Upload media icon. The Computer tab will be visible in the pop-up window that appears.
  2. Similar to our previous discussion of adding an image, you will see a Drag a file here area where you can drag an audio or video file from your computer to upload. Alternately, you can click in this area of the screen to browse your device and select media to upload. The Record/Upload Media pop-up window is shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.22 – Record/Upload Media pop-up window

    Figure 2.22 – Record/Upload Media pop-up window

  3. Once you have dragged the file to the pop-up window or selected the file from your computer, the upload will automatically begin.
  4. You can choose to Add CC/Subtitles, which will let you upload a file to add subtitles to the media if you have it.
  5. Click Submit at the bottom of the pop-up and your media will appear in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

If you would prefer to record your own media directly instead of uploading existing media, you can perform the following steps to record and embed a video or audio:

  1. Click on the Record/Upload Media icon.
  2. Click on the Record tab at the top of the pop-up window that appears.
  3. The first time you use this feature, you may see a pop-up window asking for access to your camera and/or microphone. Click on Allow to provide access to use this feature.
  4. Once you have provided access to your camera and microphone, the webcam and microphone on your computer will turn on and you will see a preview of your webcam with options to adjust your Mic input, to Start Recording, or to adjust your Webcam input, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.23 – Record media window

    Figure 2.23 – Record media window

  5. To record a video, click Start Recording, record whatever you would like your video to include, and then click Finish to stop recording. You can then click Save to embed the video, or Start Over to erase and re-record the video. Once you click Save, the video will be embedded.
  6. To record audio only, click on the Webcam button, and then select No Video from the drop-down menu. Next, click Start Recording, record whatever audio you would like to include, and then click Finish to stop recording.

    Note

    The Record Media feature is great for short video or audio content. If you would like to provide longer video or audio, it would be better to record that feedback separately and upload the feedback as a file to avoid any time-out errors or time limits that may be in place for the Record Media feature.

  7. You can then click Save to embed the audio or Start Over to erase and re-record the audio. Once you click Save, the audio will be embedded.

In addition to uploading or recording media in the ways just described, you can also add media that you have already uploaded to your course or elsewhere in your Canvas account in the same way you could add course or user images. To add media in this manner, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the drop-down menu next to the Record/Upload Media icon on the Rich Content Editor.
  2. Choose either Course Media to add media already included elsewhere in your course, or choose User Media to add media already included elsewhere in your Canvas account. This drop-down menu is shown in the following screenshot.
    Figure 2.24 – Other media options

    Figure 2.24 – Other media options

  3. Each option will open a menu on the right side of your screen that will display all of the media available either from your course or from your account. Choose the media you want to add by clicking on it.
  4. The media will be embedded in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor as soon as you click on it.

The next feature of the Rich Content Editor allows you to upload and embed documents.

The Documents feature

The Documents feature allows you to upload a document that users will be able to view or download. To upload a document, complete the following steps:

  1. Click on the Documents icon.
  2. Similar to our previous discussion of adding images or media, you will see an Upload File area where you can drag a file from your computer to upload. Alternatively, you can click in this area of the screen to browse your device and select a document to upload. The Documents pop-up window is shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.25 – Documents pop-up window

    Figure 2.25 – Documents pop-up window

  3. Once you have dragged the file to the pop-up window or selected the file from your computer, the upload will begin automatically.
  4. Click Submit at the bottom of the pop-up and your document will appear as a link in the main textbox below the Rich Content Editor.
  5. Once you save the content you have altered using the Rich Content Editor, users will be able to interact with the document you have uploaded. When users click on the document link in the textbox, the file you selected will open in a preview window. Users will also be able to download the file by clicking the down-arrow download icon that appears next to the filename. The following screenshot shows the file preview window and the down-arrow download icon to the right of the filename:
Figure 2.26 – Document preview and download icon

Figure 2.26 – Document preview and download icon

Next, we'll discuss the Apps feature of the Rich Content Editor.

The Apps feature

The Apps feature allows you to utilize an integrated app to adjust content on Canvas. We'll discuss integrating various apps in detail in Chapter 6, Utilizing and Integrating Apps. For now, we'll use the YouTube app as an example since it is readily available in the Free for Teachers instance of Canvas.

To add content using the Apps feature of the Rich Content Editor, complete the following steps:

  1. Click on the Apps icon and select the desired app from the drop-down list that appears. The following screenshot shows the YouTube app as the only app on this drop-down list, though you may have additional apps to choose from:
    Figure 2.27 – Apps drop-down list

    Figure 2.27 – Apps drop-down list

  2. Click on the app you want to use. Then, a pop-up window will open with the options available through that app.
  3. The YouTube app allows you to search for a video on YouTube and then embed the video directly to Canvas as a link or embed it in varying sizes. The following screenshot shows a searched video with the Embed Medium option selected:
Figure 2.28 – YouTube app example

Figure 2.28 – YouTube app example

Each app you have integrated into your Canvas account will provide different functionality, so feel free to experiment with various apps once you become familiar with integrating them in Chapter 6, Utilizing and Integrating Apps.

The next feature of the Rich Content Editor that we'll explore allows you to insert a Table.

The Table feature

The Table feature allows you to insert a table, similar to a table you would generate using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. To insert a table, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Table icon within the Rich Content Editor.
  2. From the drop-down menu that appears, select the first option entitled Table.
  3. You will then be able to select the dimensions of your table by hovering your mouse to highlight the number of rows and columns you want to include. To create the table, click your mouse once you have highlighted the desired dimensions for your table. The following screenshot shows what creating a 4x3 table would look like:
    Figure 2.29 – Creating a 3-row by 4-column table using the Rich Content Editor

    Figure 2.29 – Creating a 3-row by 4-column table using the Rich Content Editor

  4. Once you have created the table, you can click into the table to begin adding content. You will notice a menu appear below your table that allows you to edit the layout of your table, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.30 – The editing menu for your table

    Figure 2.30 – The editing menu for your table

  5. Remember you can hover your cursor over any of these icons to see a text description of what the icons will do.
  6. Once a table has been created, you can also access these editing options as well as other options to adjust the table's properties by clicking on the table and then clicking on the Table icon in the Rich Content Editor.

Now that we've explored the Table feature, let's look at the next icon, the Insert Math Equation feature.

The Insert Math Equation feature

The Insert Math Equation feature allows you to insert a math equation into the textbox. To insert an equation, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Insert Math Equation icon, which will open a pop-up menu with seven tabs. Each tab allows you to insert specific mathematical symbols to build basic or complex mathematical equations.
  2. To insert a symbol, click on the desired symbol and make any necessary adjustments in the editing box below the symbols menu.
  3. If you are familiar with the LaTeX code, you can click on Switch View to Advanced to enter or paste the LaTeX code directly.
  4. When you have successfully created the desired math equation, click on Insert Equation in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 2.31 – Insert Math Equation feature

Figure 2.31 – Insert Math Equation feature

The final Embed feature of the Rich Content Editor allows you to insert code to embed an item directly.

The Embed feature

The Embed feature allows you to paste code to embed an item directly into the textbox below the Rich Content Editor. This item could be something like a video, widget, or preview window. To embed an item using the Embed feature, complete the following steps:

  1. Click on the Embed icon on the Rich Content Editor. A pop-up window will appear.
  2. Copy the code for the item you wish to embed from the source of the content you are embedding and then paste it into the Embed Code box, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.32 – Embed Code pop-up window

    Figure 2.32 – Embed Code pop-up window

  3. Click Submit and the item will be embedded into the textbox below the Rich Content Editor.

Now that we have covered all of the basic features of the Rich Content Editor, let's briefly discuss the other tools available through the icons underneath the main textbox of the Rich Content Editor.

Additional Rich Content Editor tools

Underneath the main textbox of the Rich Content Editor on the right side, you will find several icons (shown in the following screenshot) that provide some additional information, tools, and options available while you're using the Rich Content Editor:

Figure 2.33 – Additional Rich Content Editor tools

Figure 2.33 – Additional Rich Content Editor tools

  1. The first icon allows you to View keyboard shortcuts available. This icon opens a pop-up window with a list of shortcuts that could speed up or streamline your use of the Rich Content Editor.
  2. The second icon, Accessibility Checker, allows you to check the accessibility of the content you have added to ensure that users of all abilities can access and engage with the content. When you click this icon, a pop-up window will appear from the right side of your screen that will either inform you that there are no accessibility issues, or it will prompt you to add or revise information for any content you have included that is not fully accessible. For example, content such as images or tables should have descriptive text so that visually impaired students using assistive technology such as a screen reader can still engage with the content.
  3. The third option provides a word count for the content you have added.
  4. The following option allows you to Switch to HTML editor view so you can edit the HTML code directly. This allows users who are familiar with HTML code to manually adjust and modify the content of their pages.
  5. The next option allows you to view the Rich Content Editor in Fullscreen, and the final icon allows you to Resize the textbox of the Rich Content Editor as you work.

Now that we have covered all of the main features of the Rich Content Editor, you can continue adjusting the content for your first assignment. When you have finished, you'll be ready to learn how to publish an assignment.

Publishing an assignment

When you have finished adding content and adjusting the settings for an assignment, you are ready to publish the assignment. To publish your assignment, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Assignments page of your course from the left Course Navigation menu.
  2. Find the assignment you wish to publish from the list of assignments. To the right of the assignment name, you will see a gray symbol that looks like a cancel sign that indicates that the assignment is not yet published.
  3. Click on the gray cancel sign, and the symbol will turn into a green checkmark icon, indicating the assignment has been published and is now available for students to access, as seen in the following screenshot:
Figure 2.34 – Publish assignment icon

Figure 2.34 – Publish assignment icon

Important note

If you are editing an assignment after you have published your course, you can check the box at the bottom of the Edit Assignment page that reads Notify users that this content has changed. This triggers a notification to all users involved with the course that you have edited and updated the assignment.

As we have now covered how to create assignments and how to use the Rich Content Editor, let's move on to other types of activities you can create using Canvas, starting with discussions.

Creating discussions

Just as online forums and posts on social media allow for written interaction between people, the Discussions feature of Canvas allows participants to engage with one another in writing. A discussion allows students to submit written comments or other content in reply to a posted topic, and everyone in the course can see and comment on the discussion topics.

You can enable grading for discussion posts, so when students post something on the discussion board, their post appears as their submission for the assignment for you to then view and grade. As the content posted in discussions is generally viewable by everyone in the course, discussions can be a valuable tool for cooperative learning, reflection, building community, and peer review.

Adding a discussion

The following section will walk you through creating discussions for your course. To create a discussion, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on Discussions on the left Course Navigation menu.
  2. In the top-right corner of the Discussions page, click on + Discussion, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.35 – Add Discussion button

    Figure 2.35 – Add Discussion button

  3. This will open a new discussion page with a line to add the Topic Title with the Rich Content Editor and textbox below. Hopefully, the functionality of this page looks familiar from when we created our first assignment. Enter the content for your discussion topic in the textbox below the Rich Content Editor.
  4. You can choose where to post the discussion with the Post to option, and you can add an Attachment if you want to include a file related to the discussion post.

    Below the textbox, you will see options that allow you to adjust the features of the discussion you're creating.

    Allow threaded replies: This feature allows students to comment on other students' posts within a discussion thread. Allowing threaded replies will enable students to keep the conversation going rather than simply posting one response to the original topic.

    Users must post before seeing replies: This feature allows the posts in a discussion to remain hidden from individual students until each of them has posted a response. You might consider using this feature to encourage originality in students' responses rather than letting students see what other students have already posted before posting their own response.

    Enable podcast feed: This feature allows you to let students subscribe to the discussion thread as a podcast, so they will see updates to the discussion thread along with their other podcast updates in Canvas. If you select Enable podcast feed, you will see another option, Include student replies in podcast feed, which will allow students to see the discussion topic and the posted replies in their podcast feeds. If you enable the podcast feed option, you will see a link to the podcast feed appear on the list of course discussions. Once the course is published, students will be able to click on that link and view the podcast feed for that discussion.

    Graded: Checking this box allows you to give students a grade for their contribution to the discussion, and the discussion will appear as an item in the gradebook for the course. Notice that when you check this box, new options appear underneath that mirror the grading options we adjusted when we created our first assignment.

    Allow liking: Checking this box allows students to like each other's posts in the discussion, similar to the like feature on many social media sites. Notice that when you check this box, new options appear underneath that allow you to choose whether students or only graders can like posts as well as whether you want to sort the posts by the number of likes received.

    Add to student to-do: If you do not choose to grade your discussion post, checking this box will add the discussion to students' To-do list on Canvas, so they will see a reminder to participate in the discussion even though it is not graded.

  5. Once you have finished updating the content and settings for your discussion assignment, you can click Save at the bottom of the page or Save & Publish if you want the discussion to be visible to students immediately.

Once you have created and published your discussion, you may choose to pin the discussion to the top of the discussion board or close a discussion for comments.

Pinning or closing discussions

Pinning a discussion organizes the discussion board so your students will see Pinned Discussions listed first whenever they view the discussion board. Closing a discussion for comments prevents students from contributing to discussions that are Closed for Comments. To pin a discussion or close a discussion for comments, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Discussions tab on the left Course Navigation menu.
  2. Find the discussion you would like to pin or close for comments, and then click-and-drag that discussion into the Pinned Discussions section at the top of the discussion board or the Closed for Comments section at the bottom of the discussion board.
  3. You can also pin or close a discussion by clicking on the icon with three vertical dots to the right of the discussion title on the discussion board. Select Pin or Close for comments from the drop-down list, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 2.36 – The Pin or Close for comments options for discussions

Figure 2.36 – The Pin or Close for comments options for discussions

As your course progresses, you and your students may create numerous discussion threads. Pinning discussions or closing them for comments allows you to organize and keep track of discussions within your course based on their importance.

Now that you know how to create assignments and discussions, let's move on to the final type of activity that we'll discuss in this chapter: quizzes.

Creating quizzes

The quizzes feature of Canvas allows you to create interactive assessments that students can complete online. You are able to design the questions and incorporate a number of traditional question types while setting the various parameters for taking the quiz.

Note

The following sections will explain how to create a quiz using the Classic Quizzes feature in Canvas. At the time of writing, the Free for Teachers instance of Canvas still utilizes the Classic Quizzes feature, though a New Quizzes feature with more varied and detailed options available for quiz questions is planned and may be available for some instances of Canvas. For information about the New Quizzes feature, check the Canvas Guides for up-to-date guidance, as we will discuss in Chapter 7, Where to Go for Help.

Adding a quiz

To create a quiz, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on Quizzes on the left Course Navigation menu.
  2. Click on the + Quiz icon in the top-right corner of the page.
  3. This will open a new quiz page with two tabs at the top for Details and Questions. By default, the new quiz will open to the Details tab, which includes a line to name the quiz (replace Unnamed Quiz with the quiz name you want to use) and the Rich Content Editor with the textbox below. Enter the instructions for your quiz in the textbox below the Rich Content Editor.
  4. Under the textbox, you will see a drop-down menu for Quiz Type; if you click on this drop-down, you are given the option to make the quiz a Practice Quiz, a Graded Quiz, a Graded Survey, or an Ungraded Survey. Quizzes serve to assess students' learning as students answer content-related questions, while surveys serve to collect information from students. Graded quizzes or surveys will appear in the gradebook. You can choose which type of quiz you would like to create, and then move down the list of settings for your quiz.

We will discuss grouping assignments in the last section of this chapter, so for now, continue to the following list of settings:

  • Shuffle Answers: This option allows you to alternate the order of the answers when the same question is displayed for each student or if you allow students to take the quiz multiple times.
  • Time Limit: This option allows you to restrict the amount of time students have to complete the quiz once they begin.
  • Allow Multiple Attempts: This option enables students to take the quiz more than once. When you check this box, you will see options that allow you to designate which score to keep as the student's grade and how many times students are allowed to retake the quiz.
  • Let Students See Their Quiz Responses: This option will show students their answers after they answer each question. If you check this option, other options appear that allow you to let students see their responses – Only Once After Each Attempt, as well as the Let Students See The Correct Answers option once they have answered a question or on a specific date.
  • Show one question at a time: This option requires students to move through the quiz sequentially rather than seeing the entire quiz and answering questions out of order. Through this option, you can also lock questions after answering them to prevent students from changing their previous answers.
  • Quiz Restrictions: This option allows you to control who has access to the quiz. With this option, you can assign and Require an access code to take the quiz, which basically acts like a password for students to access the quiz. In addition, you can Filter IP Addresses, which limits who can take the quiz based on the range of their IP address. You may use this setting to limit students to only taking the quiz within a computer lab at your institution or within the wireless network of your institution.

The availability and date settings at the bottom are the same as the assignments and discussions we have talked about, so you can adjust them as required and then move on to adding questions and question groups to your quiz.

Adding questions

Once you have input the general instructions for the quiz and adjusted all of the quiz settings as required, you can click on the Questions tab above the Rich Text Editor. This will present you with the three different options as displayed in the following screenshot:

Figure 2.37 – Quiz Questions options

Figure 2.37 – Quiz Questions options

As you are creating your first quiz, you will need to create all of your quiz questions individually. To add a new question, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the + New Question button, which will open a new blank question template.
  2. You can leave the question titled Question as the default, or you can name your question by editing the textbox at the top of the new question page.
  3. You can then update the question type. The default question type is Multiple Choice, but you can choose from a large number of question types by clicking on the drop-down menu that displays Multiple Choice at the top of the page, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.38 – Quiz question types

    Figure 2.38 – Quiz question types

  4. Once you select the question type, type the question into the textbox below the Rich Content Editor. Note that instructions on how to format the questions appear above the Rich Content Editor for each different question type.
  5. The answer options below the Rich Content Editor will change to reflect the specific parameters of the selected question type. For any options you're unfamiliar with, you can hover your mouse over the icons to see a text description of their function. For multiple choice questions, you can type in the answer or possible answers in the area below the Rich Content Editor that says Answer Text. If you would like to add additional possible answers, click on the + Add Another Answer button. The following screenshot offers an example of a multiple choice question. Notice the instructions above the Rich Content Editor as well as the possible answers below it:
    Figure 2.39 – Sample multiple choice question

    Figure 2.39 – Sample multiple choice question

  6. After you have finished creating your question, click the Update Question button in the bottom corner.

Once you have begun adding questions, the New Question Group button will allow you to arrange the questions into categories and groups. From there, you can allow students to choose how many questions from the group they would like to answer and how many points each question will be worth. You also have the Link to a Question Bank option to link to a question bank.

You will be able to create and manage question banks by clicking on the Find Questions button, which will allow you to search for and add questions that you have already created for other quizzes. To find and add previously created questions to your quiz, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Find Questions button. A screen appears listing all of the questions you have created for the current quiz. If you have created other quizzes, you will see those questions appear as well.
  2. Select the questions you wish to add by clicking the checkbox next to each question. You can click on the Select All button to select all of the questions listed or click on Clear All to clear your selections.
  3. Scroll down and click on the Add Questions button at the bottom of the pop-up window to add the selected questions to your quiz.

Next, let's discuss how to manage question banks once you've started to create questions.

Managing question banks

The Find Questions pop-up window also includes the View Course Question Banks option to view and manage your course question banks. Question banks allow you to organize and arrange your questions for use across multiple quizzes. To create or edit question banks, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Find Questions button.
  2. In the top-right corner of the pop-up window, click on View Course Question Banks, as displayed in the following screenshot:
    Figure 2.40 – View Course Question Banks link

    Figure 2.40 – View Course Question Banks link

  3. On the page that opens, you can create a new question bank by clicking on the + Add Question Bank button on the right Sidebar menu of the page. You can then type in the information for the new question bank on the template that appears in the center of your screen:
    Figure 2.41 – New Question Bank example

    Figure 2.41 – New Question Bank example

  4. After you have typed in the title of the new bank, press the Enter key on your keyboard to create the question bank.
  5. Once you have created a new question bank, you can click on the question bank title to open the question bank. The options pictured in the following screenshot appear on the right Sidebar menu and allow you to edit and adjust the question bank to your liking:
    Figure 2.42 – Question bank options

    Figure 2.42 – Question bank options

  6. Once you are satisfied with your new or edited question bank, you can return to your quiz by clicking on the Quizzes tab on the left Course Navigation menu.

Once your quiz is saved, you will be redirected back to the quizzes page. At the top of that page, you will again see the notification that the quiz is unpublished. When your quiz is completely built, you must publish your quiz before students will be able to take it. You can publish the quiz in the same way we published our first assignment by clicking on the gray icon that looks like a cancel symbol, which will then turn into a green checkmark icon to indicate that the quiz has been published.

Now that we have learned to create assignments, discussions, and quizzes, let's take a look at how to organize those activities into assignment groups.

Creating assignment groups

As you work to create the assignments from your course syllabus, you may want to organize the activities into assignment groups. Canvas makes it easy to create new assignment groups, adjust their weighted percentage, and add specific grading rules for each assignment group. To create an assignment group, complete the following steps:

  1. Click on the Assignments tab on the left Course Navigation menu, and then click on the + Group button at the top right of the assignments page.
  2. In the pop-up window that appears, you can enter your chosen name in the Group Name field for the new assignment group and then click Save.
  3. The pop-up window will close, and you will now see a new section of the Assignments page with the title of your new assignment group. You will also see any graded assignments, quizzes, or discussions that you have created listed on the page. To move assignments, quizzes, or discussions to a different assignment group, click on the dots that appear to the left of the assignment name and then drag the activity underneath the desired assignment group heading, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 2.43 – Activities organized into different assignment groups

Figure 2.43 – Activities organized into different assignment groups

Once you have created your assignment groups and dragged your assignments into the correct groups, you can specify grading rules for each group. To specify grading rules for an assignment group, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the icon with three vertical dots to the right of the assignment group name and select Edit from the drop-down menu.
  2. The pop-up menu that appears includes the same options that you saw when you created the assignment group with the added ability to designate the Number of scores to ignore for each student. You may choose to automatically drop the highest or lowest score of any assignment within an assignment group. You can also choose to never drop the score of certain assignments.
  3. When you have finished creating the grading rules for your new assignment group, click on Save in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window.

Creating assignment groups not only organizes the assignments to let students see what they will need to complete for your course, but it also gives you the option to weight groups of assignments for grading purposes.

Weighting assignment groups

In many traditional grading systems, certain types of assignments may count for various percentages of a student's final grade. For example, homework might make up 20 percent, quizzes might make up 30 percent, essays might make up 35 percent, and the final project might make up 15 percent. By weighting assignment groups, you can quickly and easily arrange the assignments you have already created so Canvas can automatically calculate students' final grades based on these weights as you grade work throughout the course. To weight assignment groups, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Assignments option on the left Course Navigation menu.
  2. To weight the assignment groups, click on the icon with three vertical dots at the top-right corner of the Assignments page. This icon is located to the right of the + Group and + Assignment buttons.
  3. From the drop-down menu that opens, select Assignment Groups Weight. Within the pop-up window that appears, check the box that reads Weight final grade based on assignment groups.
  4. When you check that box, notice that the assignment groups appear below the checkbox with a table of assignment group weights. You can then set each assignment group to make up a customized percentage of the final grade, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 2.44 – Sample assignment group weights

Figure 2.44 – Sample assignment group weights

After you have organized all of your assignments into the desired groups, look back over the table of assignment group weights next to each assignment group. If needed, you can edit your assignment groups by editing each individual group, or you can click on the edit icon in the top-right corner of the Assignments page to edit all of the group weights at once.

If you decide that you would rather not weight students' final grades based on the assignment groups, all you need to do is uncheck the weighting option after clicking on the edit icon in the top-right corner of the Assignments page.

Summary

We started this chapter with a discussion of planning your course, and then we worked through how to import content from another course. Next, we dove into adding assignments and became acquainted with the Rich Content Editor. After this, we learned how to create discussions and quizzes. Finally, we explored how to create assignment groups and how to weight grades based on the assignment groups.

Now that we have learned how to add and edit content in Canvas, you can now work through the process of creating the content and building your course on your own. Once you've created your course content using the skills learned in this chapter, we will continue the journey of teaching your course in Chapter 3, Getting Ready to Launch Your Course. We will focus on the organization and presentation of your course, and then we will move on to adding students to the course and preparing your course to be published.
