First look at canvas

In this video, I'll show you what to expect after you've brought your course into Canvas.

Overview:

1. The 'Modules' view and how it compares to moodle (iLearn) 
2. Organization: it is similar to moodle, but instead of showing all the material, all at once, Canvas tries to get students to go through items linearly, like a powerpoint deck. So 'Modules' is a more basic list, and students will go through the items one after another. Canvas makes 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons to help with this.
3. What happened to all the material on the iLearn course? It got made into 'pages' in canvas. Similar to pages in moodle, they are a basic web page that you can put any sort of content into. So the 'Labels' and Topic descriptions will be moved into pages in canvas. You'll have to hunt around a bit to see where things ended up, and then reorganize and rename them as you see fit.
4. The student's default view: The 'Modules' view is the most similar to moodles, but you have other options. A common one is to use a page. You can easily list: what the current topic and focus of activity is, and any other relevant info, with a link out to the current module. 
5. The settings page: Just like moodle, there is a 'Course Settings' page that lets you control some aspects of the course: start and stop dates, a dashboard picture, and which items are showing in the left hand menu.
