Modules in Canvas: What they are and how to use them

Still wondering how to leverage the best parts of Canvas for your classes? Modules are a great way to present materials to your students. They are flexible, and you can set them up however you like. For some basics on modules, take a look at the Canvas instructor guides section on modules. Prefer a video? Here’s one that has an overview of modules. Once you understand some of the basics of setting up modules, you can use them however you want. Maybe instead of weekly modules, you want to have one module of resources, one of assignments, and one of tests. That’s fine! In the next TTT, ETS will dig deeper into ways to use modules in Canvas. Stay tuned.
