How to Get Access to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas
April 1, 2024
Everyone who will be using Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas should begin by .
The initial Sandbox in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas is for you to utilize while you complete the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas Faculty Essentials training. This initial sandbox course gives you a space to learn the nuanced differences between Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas and Moodle Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ without worrying about the effects on a specific class that will eventually have students in it—and will save you the frustration of having to undo the work of building a content course before learning how different Canvas will be and which new features you can use to your benefit.
After successful completion of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas Faculty Essentials course, additional Sandbox courses may be requested to import, adapt, and modify specific courses. The additional sandbox courses can then be used as model courses to import into live courses, which will be available for teaching beginning in Spring 2025 (with all courses being taught in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas in Fall 2025).
How many sandbox courses can I request?
After you have completed the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas Faculty Essentials, you can request as many as you need.
What if I have used Canvas before?
While Canvas may be familiar to some, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas Faculty Essentials delves beyond the Canvas help documentation, providing a deeper understanding of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-specific resources. This training equips Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively use Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas for diverse instructional needs. Your experience as a student in this course will also help you determine which Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-specific course Framework and other templates you might choose to adopt for your courses.
If you’re a faculty member with previous experience using another instance of Canvas, you might approach the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Canvas Faculty Essentials training strategically and start by attempting the knowledge check quizzes. Once you’ve learned the specifics of how to migrate from Moodle Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ to our specific instance of Canvas, you’ll be able to request additional sandboxes where you can build your content courses.
You will want to pay special attention to Module 9 which focuses on preparing your Moodle Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ courses for importing into Canvas.
