Q1: How can you instructionally design a course that is engaging for students who struggle with digital literacy? #CanvasChat
jthompson1334 Jan 17 @ 6:17 PM EST

A1: Modules makes navigation for students simple. Can guide students to Modules in a variety of ways (Link, Home Page, etc.)#CanvasChat
StefanieSand Jan 17 @ 6:19 PM EST

A1: Modules provide a clear pathway! Use clickable image links on course home page to steer students toward specific modules. #CanvasChat

Q2: With a goal of simplifying the navigation process through a course, which page is best to hide from student view? #CanvasChat
jthompson1334 Jan 17 @ 6:27 PM EST

A2: Canvas nav pages may be redundant if using Modules. Hide Quizzes, Pages, etc. Modules will still allow for easy navigation. #canvaschat
StefanieSand Jan 17 @ 6:29 PM EST

A2: Pages! #canvaschat

Q3: How do you ensure students know how to submit all content types that can be accepted by Canvas? #canvaschat
jthompson1334 Jan 17 @ 6:37 PM EST

A3: Adding links to Canvas guides are helpful for students. Tutorial vids from Canvas Community added to assignments also help. #canvaschat
StefanieSand Jan 17 @ 6:39 PM EST

A3: Screencasts that walk Ss through the steps. Ts can use Student View to create so students are looking at their own course. #canvaschat
