Good evening everyone! We’ll get started in just a few minutes

32:44
Hey all!

33:00
Hi Gannon

33:21
Hello and Welcome!

Canvas help guide: How do I use the Syllabus as an instructor? https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12831-415255577

37:45
How do I insert course files into the Rich Content Editor using the Content Selector as an instructor? https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12991-415265829

39:26
Can you do more than one document inthe course syllabus section?

39:42
The inline preview of a document is *really* useful to students because they can view the file directly in Canvas without having to download it first.

40:09
@maia yes! You can put as many in there as you like. That’s the beauty of the rich content editor

40:57
The syllabus can be either a MSWord document or a PDF?

41:27
@jacquelinespencer yes! Or Google Doc or technically any number of other file types.

42:24
how did he link the syllabus to the text

42:32
Maia, do you mean post more than one document? if so, then yes. It is just a matter of re-positionign the cursor and selecting another document from the Files directory.

43:15
@elizabeth check out this Canvas help guide: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12991-415265829

44:24
Due dates are *important* for students to know what is coming up in the course and helps them with time management

44:37
I love that "no date" think. I am interrupted a lot and then forget if I finished something.

44:55
thing...not think

45:22
What if your course summary section is empty right now.... How do I add items into th course summary???

45:25
@aloctan exactly! An easy way to see if you’ve missed adding a due date to anything

45:53
@anita any item with a due date in Canvas is automatically added to the course summary. You shouldn’t have to do anything extra to add it

47:13
All the Canvas help guides on Calendar: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10460#jive_content_id_Calendar

47:32
@gannon- thanks!

49:44
How do I use the Calendar as an instructor? https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12911-415254669

49:50
Anita, the course summary will populate once you start adding assignments, quizzes and discussion boards that have dates.

51:09
I do not have the choice "My To Do".

51:36
how do you place "discussion" on the calender?

52:14
Evan, you will add the discussion in your course and put a due date. Then it will show up on your calendar.

53:20
Page, Thanks..it seems that is the way to put assignments, midterms, finals, as well (on line course)

53:48
Do I have to make a To Do item first to get the choice for My To Do in the edit tabs?

54:26
@diana interesting. I’m not sure actually. I’ll see if I can find out more about this option.

54:33
My To DO is not an option. I have three tabs.

54:34
Evan, yes, you should be building your course from the modules. Once you create them and add the due date, it will show up on the calendar.

55:13
@gannon i do not have a 'To Do' item as well

55:37
How does it know that the "5" is am or pm?

55:47
can students see the instruction's ToDo items?

56:25
@alooctan it shows 5p for PM

56:46
I know but he only typed "5" unless I missed him typing the p.

57:01
I only typed 5 too, and it selected pm.

57:07
https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-15245-4212947405

57:27
@alooctan if you type 20 for the time, it will be 8pm. Military time. 5 = AM

58:06
right. Except I typed just "5" and it added the p. No big deal, I thought I missed something.

59:04
@alooctan your mileage may vary then. Just look at the time written out in full when you enter a number and it will tell you specifically AM or PM

59:53
This changes the due date within the syllabus tool as well?

01:00:15
Hah! Love that!

01:00:15
@maia correct

01:01:34
@anita...are you saying the My To-Do tab did not display?

01:03:32
Right, I do not have MyTo Do tab at all either. I have Event, Assignment, and Appointment Group. Only 3 tabs.

01:03:49
This was awesome (as usual). Thanks!

01:04:31
@diana do you have a sandbox shell?

01:04:44
I am working in a Sandbox shell

01:05:09
It would help if there were more than one date for each webinar. If you can't make one date, you've missed that entire section of instruction.

01:05:25
Thank you!

01:05:35
@maia I hear you. That’s why we’re recording each one so others can watch that had a conflict with the date and time.

01:05:39
How do I set up my grades once the assignments have been created in the calendar/course summary?

01:05:52
When will those recordings be available/

01:06:10
If you change colors in Calendar, will it change the color of the course tile on Dashboard as well?

01:06:19
@Maia... check my email from yesterday. THe link should be there

01:06:31
Thanks, Jason.

01:06:32
My syllabus page has the calendar appearing below the course summary. Can I reformat the page to look like yours?

01:06:34
http://edtech.vccs.edu for all recordings of the webinars.

01:07:08
yes

01:07:35
The My TO DO would be very helpful. I wonder if our college has decided we do not need it?

01:07:44
Thanks.

01:07:55
Thank you for your help Dave. It was very informative.

01:09:06
@anita here’s a link to the grading webinar: https://drive.google.com/a/email.vccs.edu/file/d/11gxSnukLj7rU5SodemBE7XKwfxVsjRhC/view?usp=sharing

01:11:15
Where do I find the survey?

01:11:45
Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdCzDRX4V8Ln3UHKrhmVPxrsrHf6wBIa1lhjhZswLDY5qkKuA/viewform

01:11:50
Thanks great job.

01:11:50
I can only get the My To Do when in Student view.

01:12:22
Diana, you may need to be a student in any course.

01:12:30
how do I switch to student view?

01:12:36
Can I upload a file from my home computer on the Syllabus on Canvas?

01:12:53
@carol.. click on Home, then on the right click Student View

01:13:01
@carol Student View: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13122-415261153

01:13:03
Thank you for recording all of them

01:13:07
Carol, you will go to the Home page and look on the left. There you should see the Student View options

01:13:25
