I have spent hours looking at the videos on how to use Instructure Canvas. I am still waiting for the new textbook. Apparently it was not ordered by the salesperson and this has delayed the project a bit. I will be working most of the summer to get this imformation into the new system. I am looking forward to getting the book and to begin reading it.
I have been busy with the band and practicing for our gig that was perfomed on Saturday night. Inspite of all the practice there was a lot that could have been improved. Performing on stage is much like trying to get the design for the course worked on. There is always new improvements that will have to be made. Just putting the course online doesn’t guarantee everything will work the way it is suppose to work.
There are some really interesting ways to put the course up online. Charlene is interested in using the assignments method of teaching this class, rather than putting up modules. I have selcted a video that clearly tells the user of Canvas how to do just that.
Grading in Instructure Canvas is seems like a very easy task. I am including a video on how this can be done.
Finally, Charlene wants the activities of her students to be done collaboratively. Canvas lends itself to this type of activity.
