How we use Canvas
On this canvas site, we will mainly use three of the tabs on the left hand tool bar: Modules, Assignments, and Announcements.
– On the Modules tab, each week has its own page where you see what is happening each week. You should check these regularly and in advance of each scheduled session. This is the most up-to-date information and where any changes are made.
– The Assignments tab shows the assignments you have to do for this course, and how and when you have to submit them.
– The Announcements tab is where we share information about events, lectures, gigs etc. that may be of interest to attend. We also use this for urgent announcements about the course.
The Course Evaluations tab is used at the end of the course where you are asked to complete an anonymous form about your experience of taking this course. This helps us develop our work for future students.
