How to Get Access to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas
April 1, 2024
Everyone who will be using ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas should begin by .
The initial Sandbox in ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas is for you to utilize while you complete the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas Faculty Essentials training. This initial sandbox course gives you a space to learn the nuanced differences between ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas and Moodle ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas in Fall 2025).
How many sandbox courses can I request?
After you have completed the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas Faculty Essentials delves beyond the Canvas help documentation, providing a deeper understanding of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-specific resources. This training equips ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï faculty with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively use ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Canvas for diverse instructional needs. Your experience as a student in this course will also help you determine which ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï courses for importing into Canvas.
