Many thanks to Lisa Lenze, Megan Costello, Katherine Hamilton, and Jess Kropczynski for sharing their “lessons learned” from teaching in Canvas.
If you want to try using a template as a starting place for your RI section, then you can import the course shell following these steps:
- Within Canvas, click on Commons (in left nav)
- then search for “IST”
- then click on “IST Shell for RI Instructors”
- then click on “Import into Course” and find your section in the dropdown (make sure you import it into an empty space or sandbox so it does not overwrite anything you already set up).
If you have not already, please take a look at the IST Instructor Orientation site within Canvas to see help info and best practices: https://psu.instructure.com/courses/1715271
