Helping Us Helping You Get Through This Course

At the Home Page for this course, there are several helpful links that will be invaluable as you continue to work in Canvas (even long after you've built your course). If you need help and are not sure where to go, you should come back to this Highline Canvas User Guide (and Orientation) and use the links on the course Home Page.

Here is a quick overview of a few links:

• Canvas Community Links to an external site.: This is a great resource to find answers to most questions that Canvas users have. You can also use the Canvas Community forums to share ideas with other instructors as well as suggest changes to Canvas. Yes, that's right, you can actually suggest changes (or add your vote to change requests others have made).
  
  
• Instructional Design Page: The answer to many of your Highline specific questions can be found here. For example, this is where you would go to request test courses as well as merged courses. You can also find information on when Canvas course shells become available.
  
  
• CanvAssistance Calendar: Each week, there are several "CanvAssistance" sessions held in the MIDS Lab (located on the lower level of Building 9). These are drop-in sessions where you can get face-to-face help from one of your fellow faculty members on the instructional design team. If you need more immediate attention or cannot make a CanvAssistance date, you can email id@highline.edu.
  
  
• Highline Canvas Users Group on Facebook Links to an external site.: Yes, that's right, we have a Facebook page. This is another great place to ask questions. While your colleagues on the instructional design team have worked hard to learn the ins and outs of Canvas, there is only so much they know. When you ask a question through Facebook, that question goes out not only to everyone in instructional design but over 100 of your faculty peers.
