Description
No matter what point you are at in your Canvas journey, this session will help.
Within this session, participants will learn about the benefits of utilizing both Blueprint Courses and Template Courses within the Canvas LMS, as well as having time to develop and set up potential Blueprint or Template Courses for use within their Canvas Instance.
- Looking to maintain a consistent standard throughout a whole course, or specific course components? Use Blueprint Courses that authorized users can manage and maintain course-specific materials for consistent implementation and instantaneous fixes by syncing to associated courses within their domain. No longer will staff have to choose the correct "version" or navigate the Commons to find the right "Bob Lewis" and his treasure trove of items. Blueprints are the way to go.
- Looking to differentiate your users' experiences based on their sub-account? Look no further than developing your own Template Courses and applying them to your SIS IDs. This will help twofold. 1.) Staff will have a great start to their courses, consistent with their peers, and 2.) Students will experience their courses and their navigation without having to learn multiple versions of what Canvas is throughout their day. Template Courses allow consistency and fluidity throughout Canvas Sub-Accounts.
