CMCC is excited to announce that we are beginning the academic year with Canvas, a new, versatile online platform to better host our online learning.
Things that will appear differently this year:
- A customizable Dashboard landing page where you can organize your favorites and display your current courses. It will also display announcements from all courses.
- Your Calendar will now display due dates for all courses in one location. This was a huge ask from our students and we are pleased to be able to provide this.
- A Discussions tab will be present, with interactive discussion forums taking place in most classes
- All content for a course is organized week by week under the Modules tab. This is where you will find all the recorded lectures, assignments and quizzes
- Your Timetable will appear as a tab within every course site for your convenience
- Additional tools may be used by course coordinators based on need
Some of the things that remain the same as before on your course sites:
- Contact information for your instructor and teaching faculty within each course
- Announcements will be posted by your instructor on your course site, and also relayed to your email
- Assignments tool remains where you will submit required assignments.
- Quizzes tool will serve a similar purpose to Tests and Quizzes in KIRO
- Course syllabus will be found within each course site outlining the expectations for students and faculty
- Grades tool replaces Gradebook in a more user-friendly format
