SP24 Canvas Course Updates:
Course Availability: On the morning of December 11, Canvas courses will be made available. These courses will contain content imported from your corresponding main course shell. Going forward, please remember to make all necessary edits within your term-prefixed courses (SP24) exclusively. You can find detailed information on our Canvas course processes (click here to read more on our Canvas course processes). In the meantime, I kindly request that you refrain from updating the main course shells and focus on making edits in your term prefixed courses as of Dec. 8 by noon. The goal is to ensure that the most current edits are automatically copied over when the term prefixed courses are automated.
Publishing Deadline: In just under two weeks all courses must be made available to your students. Faculty members are responsible for publishing their courses unless your program has requested automatic publishing. If you wish to opt into the auto-publishing feature, please submit your request here. We will provide further communications as we approach the publishing deadline.
Resources for Preparation: To ensure your readiness for the upcoming term, we have compiled a list of valuable resources to assist you:
- Course Readiness Checklist: This document is designed to guide you through various course aspects to ensure your course is well-prepared for your learners. (MSW please ignore this checklist at this time)
