The following is a collection of resources that instructors can copy and paste to their Canvas courses. The resources are intended to help students become acclimated with Canvas, other learning technologies, and their functions. You may consider adding the following to your course Home page, on a separate page in a module, or in a section in the syllabus.
For a page intended for students to use directly, check out Student FAQs.
