Start-of-Term Canvas Course Ready Checklist

Overview

We are providing this checklist to help you make sure your courses are ready for the first day of the term, whether they are web-enhanced, hybrid, hyflex, or completely online.

Checklist

  1. Content is copied into each Canvas section you are using.
  2. Old announcements are deleted, and a new welcome announcement is posted.
  3. The syllabus is up-to-date (whether you are using the left navigation bar tool or a file attachment or
    Simple Syllabus).
  4. Appropriate dates are set on all assignments/quizzes/discussions.
  5. Content is published (remember to publish both the module and the items in the module).
  6. Content is organized within Modules. (Content that is solely available in "Pages" or "Files" is not accessible to learners that rely on screen-reader technology.)
  7. Unused items are deleted or unpublished.
  8. Unused tools on the Course navigation are hidden from student view (i.e. Use Settings and then select Navigation to move items on or off you course menu such as Pages, Files, Outcomes, Conferences, etc.).
  9. A Homepage is set (we recommend a Page you create with a welcome message, and contact information for the instructor).
