 Welcome to a high-level introduction of an iSchool Canvas course site. Canvas is all about usability. From the very beginning, it was designed with end users in mind, so its real power comes from its simplicity. Canvas interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate. This minimizes frustration, letting you the student focus on what's truly important, the coursework. So rather than just telling you how great Canvas is, let's look at what an iSchool Canvas course site looks like. In every iSchool Canvas course site, you'll find a series of links on the left-hand side. This is the course navigation menu. It's there to help you access different course areas. Let's explore a few key features. Instructors use modules to organize their course content by weeks, units, or different organizational structure. Essentially, modules create a one-directional, linear flow of what you should do in a course. Within modules, you can access course content like files, discussions, content pages, assignments, quizzes, and other learning materials. In this course, Lessons is the module, and the learning materials are found in the Week 1 content page. Pages are often used to store content and educational resources that are part of your course. These include text, video, links to files, and other course or group content. In this page, you'll find links to lectures, readings, assignments. Here's a screenshot of what a recorded lecture looks like. Here the instructor created a link to the weekly assignment. By clicking on this quick link, you'll be directed to the assignment details and submission information. A full index of all discussion forums, graded or ungraded, can be found by clicking the Discussions link in the course navigation menu. To participate in a discussion, just click on the forum titled. When in the discussion, you can view instructions, search the forum, sort unread posts, and reply to responses. Users can also use multimedia feature to record and upload video or audio. Next, we'll look at assignments. The assignment link shows you all the assignments that will be expected of you and how many points each is worth. To access a specific assignment, click the name of the assignment to view all the details. Assignment details and instructions vary from course to course, but based on your assignment requirements, you're allowed to submit files, text, or URLs for grading. And finally, grades. The grades link displays all current grades for all course assignments. As a student, accessing your grade is simple and easy. You have feedback at your fingertips, scoring details, comments, and rubrics. Here's an example of a graded assignment submission. From this view, you can see your grade, submission details, and any annotations or notes your instructor has made. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I think you'll agree that Canvas is user-friendly and offers many tools to keep you on track. This concludes our high-level introduction of an iSchool Canvas course site.
