Shifting to Canvas
October 25, 2023
Are you using Canvas?
As we begin to plan for parent access in Canvas, our first step is to revisit the HCPS Canvas priorities. Ensure that your Canvas courses have a consistency that allows for easy access to resources and course content. Revisit the HCPS Canvas Priorities below. If you still need assistance in fulfilling these priorities in all your courses, register for the webinar (Elementary or Secondary) below.
Revisiting the HCPS Canvas Priorities
- All teachers will utilize a common home page template to maintain consistency in navigation among HCPS courses and point students to modules where all digital content is accessed.
- Students and teachers will access digital resources through Canvas.
- Secondary teachers will:
- publish each course after modifying the HCPS home page using the established template, following the 22-23 guidelines.
- post instructional resources at least once a week in Canvas modules so that students have a broad overview of the instructional outcomes of the week, providing as many digital resources to students as possible through modules.
- Elementary intermediate teachers will:
- publish at least one course in Canvas so that each elementary intermediate student uses Canvas at least once a week for accessing digital content, submitting assignments, participating in discussions, etc. through modules.
- Elementary primary teachers will:
- publish at least one course in Canvas so that each elementary primary student uses Canvas for accessing digital content and digital resources as appropriate throughout the year.
Are you a novice Canvas user? Still working to set up your course homepages? Looking to see how you can set up your Canvas course for our elementary or secondary learners? This webinar is for you! We will tour the Canvas homepage and course navigation, we will introduce you to the basic features of a Canvas Module, and we will support you as you begin to set up your own Canvas course(s).
