Set up your notifications, and also be sure to encourage your students to do this.
Publish, publish, publish. You must publish pages, modules, assignments, quizzes, discussion items, and the course itself before it is ready for students to use. A green circle with a white checkmark indicates an item is published; a gray circle with a line through it indicates an unpublished item. Consult our article on course access for additional information on student access.
Always use Student View when your course site is ready. This will show you exactly what students will see and what they won’t see when they access your course site.
Avoid being a Canvas troubleshooter. Show the students the help menu in Canvas. Be sure they submit a ticket to ODL Technical Support when they have Canvas questions.
We suggest you and your students use Chrome or Firefox and not IE or Edge, even though they are on the Canvas supported browser list.
Have a student finishing up an incomplete? Review this finishing incompletes in Canvas resource and submit the accompanying manual enrollment form to ensure your student has the course access they need to submit coursework.
