Adding the template to your course

There is a template that can help you structure your courses for the quarter. It includes the Canvas Student Orientation, as well as sample weeks that you can add your course content to.

Check out the template. You can add that to your course, or print out the modules page and follow that structure in creating your course. To add the template to your course:

  1. Go to Canvas Commons by clicking on the Commons link in the Global Navigation Menu on the left:
    Canvas Desktop with Commons link highlighted
  2. Once you're in the Commons Page, type Spring 2020 Sample Course Template into the search bar.
    Entering the search term Spring 2020 Sample Course Template
  3. Click Import
    Click the Import button
  4. Search for your course. If you haven't change the course name, all your course will start the Sp20, so type that into the search box.
    Type Sp20 into the course search
  5. Check the box for your course, and click Import Into Course.

In a few minutes, the template will be added to your course, and you can edit to add your own course materials.
