Create a Practice Course Site in Canvas
As you complete the activities in this institute, it is best to create a Canvas practice course and add a module that includes the elements that you described on your module planning worksheet (e.g. objectives, learning guidance, assessments etc.). You will also include your course overview and introduction.
Module One in this course provides many references and videos to help you learn Canvas.
You may easily create a practice course site if you have a Faculty role in Canvas (you do if you are teaching any course now or in the past, even if you haven't used Canvas).
To create a course site:
Click on your Dashboard:
Click the Start a New Course button on the right side of the window:
Complete the form (as illustrated below). You may choose Private for the Content License and choose Manually Created Courses if you do not see your department listed under the Dept, School or College item. Please remember that the SHORT NAME cannot be changed once you submit the form. The Course Name is longer and more descriptive and can be modified.
Submit the form. Your course will be created immediately, and it should appear under COURSES -- ALL COURSES.
