1. "What am I supposed to do?"

In each course, the lesson for the day will be clearly labeled in the course Modules. Students start with the first link in the Module, clicking next at the bottom of each screen to be taken through the day's lesson. The lesson will include content and assignments. The Modules will often be locked until the day they are assigned.

2. "When is it due?"

Due dates will be clearly listed on each Canvas Assignment, Quiz and Discussion. Students can also view their assignment due dates on their Canvas Calendar or by viewing their Canvas To-Do List. Each time a teacher assigns an assignment, it will be posted to the Calendar and To-Do List.

3. "How did I do?"

Students can view their graded Canvas assignments by viewing Grades or Recent Feedback on the course's homepage or their Dashboard. Teacher comments and feedback will be available to view wherever the grade is posted. Please remember Skyward is still the official gradebook and all "final grades" in Canvas should be ignored. Canvas Grades should only be used to view graded Canvas assignments and feedback.

4. "Can you help me?"

Students should check the course's Home Page for the teacher's syllabus or class information page for the how a student can request help from their teacher. You can use the Canvas Inbox to contact a teacher within Canvas.

You can often find help you need by using the Help tab on the Canvas Global Navigation bar. You may also contact your Campus Instructional Technology Specialist for help.
