A well-designed homepage in Canvas invites learners into the course and offers guidance for getting started. A module introduction can introduce students to this week’s topic and offer a checklist to help students stay on track. We will explore examples of high-quality Canvas pages and will demonstrate how to build in elements such as headings, images, videos, and links. Participants will get time to workshop a page of their own.
