Things to Consider
1. Join Canvas sections: Are you teaching more than one section of a course? Consider “Join Canvas” (combining) sections by sending an email to CLT@champlain.edu to make the request at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the course.
2. Course content: Decide what content to keep or to delete before copying the course to a new shell. Remove old/multiple versions of the syllabus, and organize folders and files as necessary.
Academic Continuity Requirements
- Upload a PDF syllabus to your course (instructions here)
- Engage the class in one virtual activity during the semester by:
- Using the Introductory Discussion already in your course, or
- Creating an online assignment of your choice
