Course Structure

This course consists of four modules: 

  1. Getting Started with Canvas 
  2. Canvas Course Structure

  4. Blended Learning
.

Some functions within Canvas are so important that we think it is necessary that you take a look at the pages regarding these functions. We have marked these pages as ‘Essential’. These pages form in our opinion the basis of Canvas and everyone that follows this course should at least visit these pages. Beside we highly recommend to consult the Blended Learning module in order to unlock the full potential of Canvas.
