[AUDIO LOGO] SPEAKER 1: OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. KRISTI REYES: Hello, everybody. My name is Kristi Reyes and this is about Tips And Tricks About Canvas You May Not Know. There is a full detailed handout that you can get by opening up your phone or mobile device and scanning that QR code after you open your camera or you can go to this bit.ly URL, bit.ly/otantdlscanvastips or if you miss all of that, you can always email me and I'd be happy to send you this PDF. Just to give you a glimpse of what that looks like, it's a really complete handout with instructions and many different resources that you can look at. So well, our time is pretty limited even though OTAN was generous to give me 90 minutes, I may not get through everything. But again, this handout will really help you. So hopefully, some things you'll definitely be able to follow along with, some things I would just say, hey, just-- I'll let you know, just watch for a moment, because all of us going step by step, that would use up a lot of time. But this is hopefully what I can cover in this time, talking about your course entry points, your Course Card, your Homepage banners and buttons, talking a little bit about Navigation in your settings. There is something called Syllabus. Do any of you use the Syllabus in Canvas? OK. Yeah, you do. Because it's not the greatest and so a lot of us use something called a Liquid Syllabus because it can be much more dynamic and beautiful, but we can use those two together. So I'll talk about that and you can publish it in a way that students can access it without ever having to log into Canvas as well. So that's the reason why a lot of us use a Liquid Syllabus is because we want to send that out well in advance of students starting a course and they may not even know their log in yet, right? So I'll talk a little bit about that. And do you use Announcements? OK. And do you usually see them at the top when you log in? OK. You can set the number. So the default may be zero. But if you want students to be able to see some of the most recent Announcements going in chronological order, you can set the number of Announcements in the navigation-- or excuse me, from the Homepage. And then how many of you have taken any coursework about making your online content accessible? Very few. I don't know if you know, it is the law and we are very behind, we are very behind. And so I'll talk a little bit about Accessibility in Canvas. There are certain things we should do in creating our content. And luckily, there is an Accessibility Checker within Canvas, but it's not perfect. I'll talk about Embedding a little bit. I'll talk about page and content History. And I don't know if it's ever happened to you, probably not, you're all perfectionist and never make any mistakes, I'm sure. But if you ever accidentally delete something, there's a 95% chance that you can get it back. Do you know about Requirements and Prerequisites? I know that my colleague here does. Anybody have some knowledge about that? OK, you're in the right place then. And you probably know how to Course Copy. But sometimes in the past, I've taken some online courses and they've had me create some content and it's not my school resource and I want to grab that and not copy, paste, copy, paste, so there are ways you can download content to import into your school accounts, for example. Speed Grader do you use that already? Some of you. OK. And then more, as time permits, and questions answers. So I don't know if we'll get through half of this, but we'll try to get through as much as we can. So let me go ahead and get started here. So not that page, but here. Does anybody know what those little boxes are called? AUDIENCE: Tiles. KRISTI REYES: Tiles or Course Cards. I've heard them at one, which is for the California Community Colleges. They call them Course Cards, but I like to call them tiles. I don't know which one is right, so use the terminology you like. The shell is the whole course, but this, the entry point is the tile or card. And you can see I'm on some different committees, and my department, and things for my school. And this is just really not exciting-- the plain green box. I don't know about your school, at my school, courses-- when our school sets up are our course shells, it's NCS L45 Section 1350-- students have no clue what that is. And so you can give a nickname. By clicking there, you can change the color. But it's really much, much better if you have some visual image that's maybe repeated on your class syllabus, so that students can identify your particular course with. One time, quite a while back, I always have students set up their profiles here. And they took all of their little profile pictures and put it into one little box and so it was very clear where to enter the course, they saw themselves. But it is important to have a visible entry point with your course tile or course card. And so how do you usually create your course tile or card? What do you use? AUDIENCE: Canva. KRISTI REYES: Canva. What else? OK. So Canva is the go-to tool of the moment. Well, I want to show you one simple way too. When you're looking on social media like maybe you have your Instagram account, do you ever see these really nice quotes with a beautiful picture? You ever see that? Well, this is a simple, simple way in an instant or two to make your course card. You can spend lots of time on Canva, but this is one really simple way. And this is called Quozio. And so just look at when you scroll down completely free, you don't even need to make an account-- Quozio. And this is on the handout, so you don't need to write it down. But you see these different quotes. Yeah, you've seen those before, haven't you? So you see this Course Card that I have right here? I'm getting ready for my summer class already and so students-- our school is just minutes from the beach and I sell my classes. You can go study from the beach on Canvas, that's OK. So in Quozio, I would maybe just go like this-- ESL Level 7 at MiraCosta College. And who said it? Well, that's me, I'm going to put my name. OK. Now, there are horizontal and vertical choices. So as you're going through, you want to look for the one that's the most square. So I go here, I click Create My Quote. It gives me a preview. This one's a little bit too vertical, so I was looking through earlier just to save time and I found one that I liked over here. Let's see if it pops. OK, here we go. This one is going to be perfect for me. So there's my course card. OK. All I need to do is click on Finish and download it and it saves it as a little JPEG, a little image file. So Quozio, that would be fun for other class projects, I've used it with students when I have them write about their personal motto and that's their little visual aid. So how do I get the course card right here? How I do that is, I'm going to enter my course. Who knows what I do next? AUDIENCE: Settings? KRISTI REYES: Settings, right. Where are the Settings? Bottom left. So I go to Settings and there, I already have something there. But if I didn't, it would have a little image that says import picture and that's how I could get it there. So Quozio would be one really easy way. Of course, Canva. It would be as you create your teacher brand-- we all have our special style, my colleagues have this. You create your teacher brand and then all of your course content is having this similar look and feel-- that's you, that's unique to you. So when you go to Canva, you know that it's free. And I'm just going to type in-- I'm going to go to Logo. Logo is the best for-- whoops, Logo. Not log, Logo. Let me type that in, get this out of the way-- Logo. And I can't type very well. Then I have all kinds of different options. And then from there, I can also create my course banner. But very simple, very customizable. You just choose a style that you like, change the colors, download it as a JPEG, and that can be your course card as well. So that's one entry point-- course card, all right? Of course, in a moment, we're going to talk about your Homepage. That is the most important part because that is the welcoming embrace for your students. One time, I observed a very, very experienced online instructor from my college, she teaches Spanish. She's beautiful woman and she's like, she has a sense of humor, a sparkling personality, and I observed her online course as part of her tenure review. And I did not see one ounce of her in the course. Right? So I was able to give her that good feedback and she changed everything. But students need to see you, they need to see you. So probably you do a lot with your onboarding, maybe you send out welcome messages like a little video, that's important. But then, online, it's very isolating. So they need to always see you when they enter the course. So that's what we're going to be talking about in a moment. Moving on though, I want to go back to navigation for a moment. Far left in Global Navigation, there's nothing much you can do there. That's not anything you can change except for your Profile, you should definitely put your image there and a little bit of information, right? So you just go there and you go to your Profile and put your picture. It's really important when-- to show students how to do that too, they don't always want to put a picture and that's fine. If they want to have an image of their favorite soccer team-- whatever, OK. But they're mostly studying online in the LMS and they're doing discussion posts, it's good to have a visual. So over here, we have in the regular menu, Home, Announcements, Modules, Grades, Assignments, Quiz-- oh, my goodness. If I leave all of those open to students, what's going to happen? AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: They're going to-- I mean, they'll probably start clicking on Quizzes and take-- if I don't have that hidden, they're going to take a quiz that maybe not even for this term, right? Sometimes we forget to unpublish things and they'll be like, you didn't even teach us, well, I didn't even-- what are you talking about, right? So how many items are good to have? AUDIENCE: Just few. KRISTI REYES: As few as possible. So you can see, I have hidden the eyeball with a slash through it, all of those are hidden. I keep The homepage open. The Modules-- well, I do have on the Homepage, the current module at the top, so students can find it. But Grades-- well, if your class is really not graded, you may not have that. But do you give your students grades? Do you? My students get grades. And even though it's non-credit, it's never going to fall on them. They want to know and they deserve to know how they're doing. They deserve to know. And so the grade book is there for them. So pretty much, I hide everything because Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions-- everything else goes within Module. So how do we get rid of these things? How do we hide them? Anybody know? Who can tell me? Settings, thank you. So we go to Settings. And then where do we go? AUDIENCE: Navigation. KRISTI REYES: Navigation. And you'll see a whole bunch of things listed up there. How do I hide them? You drag it down. So if I decide, oh, actually they don't need to see the grades after all-- I just drag it down. Now is it hidden? AUDIENCE: Yes. KRISTI REYES: No. I need to go to the bottom and Save. That's usually-- because it's so far down to scroll, we often forget that, right? So now I can see that everything is hidden. Sometimes when you're creating a brand new course, you're like, wait a minute-- right now, my modules are open, but-- it says the modules are hidden, but I just went to navigation and I unhid-- I put it to be visible, but it's not showing. Why do you think that would happen when you're creating a brand new course? You haven't published any modules yet. So once you publish a module, then it will be visible. So can we change the Global Navigation on the far left? Good students, you're very fast learners. Can we change the menu items? Yes. Yes. Question. Not really, let's try that. Let's try that. I don't think you can change the order. Maybe, let's try that. Oh, I didn't mean to do that. Let's try that. Let's put the Announcements towards the top. Now only Home will always stay at the top, so let's try to change modules then let's see what happens. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: OK. So yes, we can. So we can-- thank you, I learned from you. Hey, if you come up here, I'll go back there. No, OK. So yes, just dragging around, yes. Did it change for me? Yeah, I'll do it later. But yeah, you probably wouldn't hurt to say. Now do you have a website that you always have students visit? Like every week? What is the website? Tell me one website. Quizlet. OK, what else? Quizzes. OK, what else? AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: OK. Tell me another one. [LAUGHS] I'm trying to get the perfect one here. What? Padlet. OK, what else? AUDIENCE: Amazon. KRISTI REYES: Amazon. OK. So not all of-- there are two ways that we can do this. And one way is that it will be embedded, but that doesn't always work for all websites. If it's a website that has lots of multiple buttons, it's not going to embed well. But you want to test it out. So does anybody know how I can add a different menu item over here? Anybody? AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: OK, I'm going to go to Apps. You will notice depending on your school-- I mean, there are just so many apps. Have you heard of some of these? I mean, BrainPOP, I know. There are just so many, yeah. So here's what you're going to put in the Filter by Name box, it's called Redirect. This new one with the black arrow, I haven't tried that one out. That just came up very recently, so I don't know if any of you have tried that one. I don't even-- I'm afraid to try it in front of you right now, so I'll just reserve and go with what I know. I'm going to go with the blue one-- Redirect Tool. And what do you think I do now? Add App. So let's say I'm just going to-- I'm not going to use palette and all of those because I'm going to save those for later. But let's say that there's a dictionary that I always have my students use or I always have them when I'm teaching vocabulary every week, they're looking in an online dictionary, writing down definitions and using thesaurus.com to find synonyms, for example. For me, just to make it easy, you don't want to say-- keep the name as Redirect Tool, your students don't know what that means. So you need to give it a name. And I'm just going to put school website just to demonstrate. And I happened to memorize my school website. I've used Britannica dictionary and different ones before, so I'm going to put my school website. All right. So there are some options here. If you try it out and it is not embedded, then you want to definitely choose this force open a new tab. So when students click on it, it's going to have this button and it says, "Click Here", and it will open in a new tab. But for beginning computer users, you know what happens, right? They open a new tab, and they get lost, and they're like, what, where am I? And they waste a lot of time. So you want to test this out because it doesn't work with all websites. But I'm not going to do it forcing a new tab. Because I tested this one out, I'm going to say show in course navigation, I'm going to check those three final ones, not the first one though. Like that. I'm going to click Add App. Oh, no, where is it? I don't see it over here. I need to do what? Refresh. Let me see, there it is. School website, way at the bottom. Right over here, way at the bottom. Let's go to Student View for a second just to see. AUDIENCE: Kristi, there was a comment in the chat. KRISTI REYES: Go ahead. AUDIENCE: They said that, I can't seem to get rid of mine [ INAUDIBLE ] Does anybody else have that [ INAUDIBLE ]? KRISTI REYES: That would be an integration and you'll need to work with your school on that. I've tried some integrations-- do all of you know formerly, Flipgrid, now called Flip? I tried and tried, I talked to my IT people, another-- no, we couldn't get it to integrate. So you need to work closely with your IT people with the integrations. So let me see if I can get to Student View. I think my course is not published, so I'll just go here. Let me just click on the-- drumroll. When students click there, it's right embedded, they're not leaving Canvas at all. So that's nice. Again, check, try it out though, it won't work-- the embedded part, you might have to choose the force open a new tab. Yes, sir? AUDIENCE: If you left site, will it give you the option? KRISTI REYES: Good question, let's try it. It stays in Canvas. Let me see if I have here-- I would show you that, again, in the past, I have just used that force in open a new tab because my students are a little more advanced in-- but test it up. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Yeah, exactly. Question here? AUDIENCE: Yeah. Could you use-- could you just get the hotlink of their home page? KRISTI REYES: Of course. Of course, yes. So that would be a possibility. Put it right on your Homepage as a hyperlink exactly, yeah. OK, other questions? All right. So that's Navigation. Moving on. Syllabus. I do have my Syllabus hidden because I really-- I mean, what it turns out to be is a list of assignments. Is that what you're syllabus is? No. If you do want to keep Syllabus in your menu, how could I include my Liquid Syllabus-- how many of you are familiar with Liquid Syllabus first of all? If you are not, my colleague right here is giving a presentation tomorrow about Liquid Syllabus, OK? Liquid Syllabus is more dynamic than a PDF that you send students. It's got hyperlinks, you can embed a video of yourself. I'm going to show you a couple of examples. So what I have used before-- let me see which one. OK. Well, I used to use Smore. Do you know Smore? Smore is for creating newsletters. But what I love about it is it looks really awesome on a phone and many of my students-- and you see this is the liquid syllabus because I have videos, I have hyperlinks, it's much more interactive. The problem with Smore is that after a while, you can't go back and edit, so I can't use the syllabus and change it for next term and then change it for-- it's like a one time deal. You get a certain number of newsletters like five for free and I never pay for anything because I'm a poor teacher, so I never pay for anything. And so once I ran out of free newsletters with that one account, I use my Gmail, then I switch to my Yahoo, and then I use my family email, right? But then I decided maybe I'll try something different. But with Smore, what you can do is you can get this copy or embed code right here. And I can go here and I can go and copy that embed code. And back in the syllabus if I decide to keep syllabus as a menu item, I can go to Edit. And how do I embed something now-- some code? There are a couple of different ways. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] I think it was only a comment from somebody who joined late. KRISTI REYES: Oh, OK. All right. So there are a couple of ways to embed. One is with those three dots in that cloud or if you get really fancy and coding-- do you all know coding? We're supposed to be knowing coding, evidently. But there's this one down here too and I can just paste in. Let me go back and get the embed code one more time. That's a direct link, thank you. Here's the embed code-- copy, paste. Now if I decide to keep the syllabus, I decide to unhide it, now students could see something more attractive because if you just create a page for your syllabus, unless you know coding, which will be our next step, maybe some of you will be training us on that next year at this time, right? Unless you know coding, creating a really dynamic syllabus just in the Canvas page is a little bit tricky. So another site that I've used before, nowadays I'm just using a Google site, it would be the same thing. But embedding doesn't really work well with Google Sites because I have these different tabs. So I would probably just get the hyperlink and put it in the Syllabus. But at least then what I can do is students can see my syllabus as more dynamic and beautiful liquid syllabus in Canvas. However, what happens, some of our students they're not getting the information about how to log in, they don't know what their password is and you want to get them going with your liquid syllabus and the onboarding process before the class starts. They don't know how to get into Canvas and you've published everything here in Canvas. Luckily, there's a way to make your syllabus public and share a URL without them having to log into Canvas. How you do this-- I have to use my cheat sheet here because it's a little bit-- it's not something I usually do. So how you do this is in Settings. I'm going to go to the far left-- Settings. I'm going to go ahead and in Navigation, I'm going to go ahead-- I have to make the syllabus visible, so I'm going to have to find that guy down here somewhere. Tell me if you see it. [VOCALIZING] There it is. See, it's disabled right now, so I need to pull it back up here. Where did it go? There it is. OK. So maybe I want to put it there. And then you need to make sure to save, right? And now my syllabus is now going to be visible to students, but I need to make that page public. So what I do for that is in Settings, I'm here on Course Details and go down to-- you see the visibility? There, OK. So I'm going to leave it at-- I'm going to leave it at course, but I'm going to choose customize. OK. And what I want this to be-- let me make sure I got the right thing. I think I'm going to put this on public, OK. I'm going to put it on public-- Syllabus, Public. All right. Let's see if it works. I'm going to update. I'm going to go to my Syllabus page. I'm going to copy-- I'm going to copy this URL. I'm just going to go open up Firefox, different browser real quick. And something that's not connected with Canvas right now. Oh, please work. Please work. All I need to do, students don't need to log in to Canvas. I can send that URL in an email. Oh, I don't know how to log in. No, it's OK. It's public, the whole world can see this if I want to share it with them. Did you know this before today? Awesome. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Yeah. Yeah. Right? OK. So that is a way that you can make your Syllabus public to the world without students having to log in to Canvas yet, if they're not quite set up. Sometimes students like, I want to join your class, but I can't go register until tomorrow. You don't want them to get behind, so here's a way to share all that information with them from the beginning. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Yeah. Yeah, definitely. There you go, that's a way for self enrolled courses is you can have it housed in Canvas, but make it public so that you could send it out. Yes? AUDIENCE: Can they access [ INAUDIBLE ]? KRISTI REYES: That would be all they can access. That's the only thing that you've made publicly available, that's right. All right. One more thing in Settings and that is about the Announcements. Let me just see if I have this one course open. So when students-- this is a course I was taking and so you see that there are three Announcements. You can set the number of Announcements students see when they log in from the Homepage, right? How you do that is you're going to go back to your Settings-- OK. And if you don't see this in your particular course, different Canvas-- let's say accounts may have different settings. I notice I have the free Canvas version, I have a different Canvas that I'm working through the state of California, and I have-- I have four different accounts, right? And they're all slightly different just based on what was made available. So hopefully, you would see this. But if you don't, that's why. When I'm on coarse details, when I go way, way, way, way, way to the bottom, there are More Options. And that More Options way at the bottom show recent announcement. Well, maybe you don't want the announcement showing at all-- that's fine, you can uncheck it. Maybe, you want three maybe you only want one, maybe you want 15-- I wouldn't recommend. But maybe I just want two announcements showing at the top. And then there are other things here definitely that you need to have checked like one is maybe you don't want students to attach files to discussion. So there are More Options here as you can see. So hopefully, you see that in your account. But then I always need to update or it won't save. So that is the way to limit or to expand the number of announcements students can see. You know that when you send an announcement, it goes to their email. But also if you want-- many of them do not check email as you probably know, so you can also have them visible from the Homepage. All right. So as I said a little while ago, your Homepage is the warm embrace. Come on in. Kind of how you meet students at the door when they walk into the physical classroom. Your Homepage is, hey, welcome on in. Remember me? Yeah, I'm your teacher, here I am. So what things do you have on your Homepage? AUDIENCE: Like a nice banner. KRISTI REYES: A banner. AUDIENCE: A welcome message. KRISTI REYES: A beautiful banner. A nice welcome message. AUDIENCE: Picture. KRISTI REYES: Your photo. AUDIENCE: A video. KRISTI REYES: A little video. AUDIENCE: Contact information. KRISTI REYES: Contact information. AUDIENCE: Three buttons, Zoom. KRISTI REYES: Three buttons. OK. The link to Zoom, exactly. And so Mariana, here. Thank you. She came here for a reason. I paid her to be here to be my crutch, and what do you use to create your banner? Canva. So if you're going to go with Canva, stick with Canva to create your teacher brand. If you're like, uh-huh. Canvas seems hard for me. Well, learn it. [LAUGHS] But there are other options too. There are other options too. One option is creating a banner with PowerPoint. That's really simple. Like, I don't have time to play with Canva. Then you can just go to PowerPoint. Go to the Design tab. Oh, gosh. Well, with Office 365, there are some more beautiful designs. I don't know. I'll just choose something simple. Let's choose-- what should we choose? Which one do you like? OK, I'll just choose that one really quick. All right, but that's too big to be a banner. That's going to take up like-- they're going to be scrolling. So what you need to do in the Design tab is to change the size. So you go to design. And do you see Slide Size right there? AUDIENCE: Mm-hmm. KRISTI REYES: I don't want standard or wide-screen. I need to go to Custom. And then again, Slides Viewed for Banner. And then I click OK, and whatever, it doesn't really matter. Ooh, but look at that font. Let me see what size is that font, 7.2. I think I'll need a microscope. So no. Make sure to do something like 30 or so, and then you can type in whatever. And let's go here and make it really, really big. And we can go 2.4! No. Let's make it 28, and I'd probably want to drag that up a little. Anyway, you can make all kinds of designs. You can customize it. You can put in different text, whatever. All right, you might want to position that a little bit better. But am I going to be able to put this PowerPoint slide as a banner? Yeah, no. I cannot import a PowerPoint slide that will view as an image. So exactly, I need to go to File. Now what? Save as. Now what? Well, I'm going to choose desktop, this PC, and I'm going to choose whatever. I didn't give it a name, but I'll just put Banner. And I'll put it on the desktop, but not as a PowerPoint. What do I need to do right here? Mm-hmm. I need to save it as a JPEG or PNG, either one. And save it, just this one slide, and then I can check it. There it is. I won't open it for you just to save time, but it's saved as a JPEG, and that can be my banner. So that's one way. Of course, Canva, as you mentioned, is the other option. But before I talk about that, I'll just talk about one other one, which is Photopea. And what you do there is go to New Project, and you'll want to choose ads. And you'll want to do one of the leaderboards and look, they 4 some cute ones. See. And it's a similar thing, as with PowerPoint or Canva. I just choose one. I change the words and download as a JPEG. So that's another option if you're in a hurry. There are many cute ones. I think my colleague here, Monica, talked about seasonal. Maybe you want to choose something springtime, change it up. So that's the other option. And as you said, the third option, of course, going back to Canva. Well, I'm not going to choose Logo, but if you go in and you type in Canvas Banner, there are some banners there as well. Ooh, succulents. Yes, very stylish. And so December, like all kinds. And you know that if you choose one with-- I don't know if you can see this one. This one has a dollar sign. I have the free account. I'm not paying. Forget it. So you want to choose one not with the Pro. So I'll probably have to choose some guy like this, and then you can just customize it. You can totally change it, right, to make it whatever you like, and download it as a JPEG. So your Banner is very important. I'm going to close out some stuff real quick here. Oh, I forgot to talk about this one. If you have a class or maybe you work with teachers, some of you might be in administration, and you never see them because you're only in Zoom and only on Canvas or whatever. And you never see the students' faces. They never turn on their cameras. Well, I did this once, and it turned out really fun. If you've heard of Pixton, you have to pay for it, but you get a week free trial. So it has to be turned around really fast. And not really good for open enrollment unless you want to pay for it. They have this option, and on the handout, I have the links linked to these instructions. What you do is you set up a classroom. And let me just show you what my classroom looked like. You give students the link, and they create their avatar, and it joins your classroom. And so you can see, that's me. And then, these are the instructions, but just to show you. So they had one week to do this. They put their-- this was how I could sort of see my students who were not willing to share a photo. And then, within that free week, I can click on these different parts. It was around last year at this time, February, and then I downloaded this one before my free trial came out for the end of the school year. So you have to use it, unless you want to pay, within that-- so you get to tell students, today. Make your avatar today because my free trial runs out tomorrow or something. But that could be your banner as well. And students enter your course and see themselves. So I wanted to share about that. I think it's kind of fun. All right, so I have here some boring content for a homepage. I'm just going to copy that. I don't recommend copying content from Word. It's a bummer. It really is a bummer because you like to have that backup, but from Word into a Canvas page because sometimes what happens? AUDIENCE: Is the setting, the format. KRISTI REYES: Yeah, well, you see, I didn't put any bullets or anything here because-- has this ever happened to you? You copy from something, then you get double bullets, or the numbering gets all messed up? So if you do copy and paste, don't do any formatting outside of Canvas. Copy and paste and put it in Canvas, and then do the formatting. So here, I have some content for my home page. Just boring, just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. OK, so I'm just going to demonstrate really quick. We're going to go here. Making your home page the first time is a little bit complicated. How many of you have made your homepage before? So probably the first time you're like, oh, oh, I got it. And then you probably don't make it again, do you? You just change it. And then, this happened to me. I wanted to make a new course. I'm like, why isn't this working? Because it's a three-step process to make your homepage. We forget because we don't keep making home pages usually. We just edit, right? So I'm going to go here to my pages. And I'm going to go-- where now? Where now to make a home page? AUDIENCE: Home page. KRISTI REYES: Page. I need to make a homepage. So I'm going to put welcome to class. I'm just going to-- oh, maybe I should go ahead and put in that banner. It's not my favorite, but I'll just put it in, just so you see. Images. Upload Image. Where is that ugly banner? [LAUGHS] There it is. OK, so there's my ugly banner, but I just wanted to demonstrate really quickly. So there's my ugly banner. Woo. What about here? Just leave it? AUDIENCE: No. KRISTI REYES: The law is if I have a vision-impaired student and they use a screen reader to look at the home page, it's not going to-- they're not going to have an equal experience to a student who has vision. So if it's decorative, you can choose decorative. I will probably just put banner for Level 7 with Kristi Reyes. So then, when-- and if it says point JPEG, take that out. A screen reader will say banner for Level 7 with Kristy Reyes. You don't want it to say point JPEG. You don't want it to say that. It reads everything on your screen. So then, I'm going to go ahead and save it. I know it's ugly. I want to make-- I want to make it fill the entire space. I'm really not satisfied with it, but I'm just demonstrating for you. And then, I have that content for my home page. All right, what do you think? Should I use red and green and purple? Should I leave it like this? It's hard on the eyes. It's not very nice to read. So maybe what I will do, in keeping with accessibility, is use headers and styles. So this is what a lot of teachers do. Oh, I want this one to be bolder. So I'm going to make it a bigger font size. No. No. If you want to indicate this is a subtitle. This is a sub subtitle, et cetera. You don't want to just change the font size. You need to go here to Paragraph. Your title of your page is Header 1. Header 2 is this next subtitle. Maybe here, I might even take up this information. Students don't really care about my section number. OK, I'll just take that out then. This one, maybe I will make Heading 3. Font size 12 is OK, but I might make that-- I don't know. I might make that a little bit bigger. But here, I definitely want to make this stand out. Right. I might want to make certain things stand out. So that is the way to make things more prominent than just font size in keeping with 508 compliance. Does that make sense? OK. I don't have a glamour shot, but I'll go ahead and put in a picture just to demonstrate, so hmm, because you told me that pictures are important. So let's see if I have a picture available. I don't like it. I need some teeth whitener and what else? But anyway, we'll just go here, OK, because it's important the students see your picture. So again, look here. No Alt Text. I need to put a photo-- oh, I don't even need to put a photo. I don't even need to put that. I'm just going to put-- there. Yeah, I am decorative, but I'll leave that. [LAUGHTER] So I submit. I can resize. Something I don't have time to show you today is padding. There is some code if you want to text wrap. Typically, when you put in an image, and you try to do text wrap, it's right slash next to the image. If you would like that code that gives you some padding, you can email me. But I don't have time, unfortunately, to show you that because it's complicated, but much smaller. There we go. So I'm just going to leave it at that. I would embed a video. I have a welcome video. If you have a tutorial, it's better that you make it yourself. A short tutorial, hey, students-- like, a screencast. Hey, how you get started click here, blah, blah, blah. Now I left the modules open, but some of you said redundancy is actually good in this case. So students may click your modules to find my modules. But why don't I just let them know right up front here too? So what I can do, let's say that I want them-- maybe the class information is secondary because I've already given that information. So what I might want to do here is put a hyperlink would be fine, but someone said something about buttons. How many of you use buttons? What do you use for your buttons? Canva. AUDIENCE: Canva or Canvas. KRISTI REYES: Canva or Canvas. Now, I hesitate to show you too much with Canvas because some of you will not have this in your Canvas account. But there is this new-- well, how old is it? About six months old? For some accounts, you have icon makers right here that you can make buttons. You can use Canva. You can use PowerPoint. You can use Google Draw. Create a little image, download it. But there, on the handout, I have some websites that make it even easier for you that you don't have to draw or anything. One that I have here-- let me find it. Da Button Factory. [LAUGHTER] Oops. Let me get back there. There are several. Some are a little complicated because there's coding. This one is simple, very simple. So let's say I want this one to be called Week 1. I have options for the font. Let's see. I don't know. Roboto. Do I want it bold? Yes. Do I want italics? No. I can make it bigger. OK, I get a little preview as I'm going along here. I really hate that color. Let's see. Let's make it nice and blue. Ooh, no, that's over the font. I'll keep it white. But I will make the text shadow known. So you just go through-- I want it to fit to the text padding around the words, for example, but I really don't like that color. No way. There we go. Ooh, I like that one. What do I do now? I can just download it. If you love coding, well, go for it, baby. But I'm just going to download it. And so I'm going to call that button Week 1 because I already made a button Week 0 ahead of time. And so I go over here, and I'm going to put in those two buttons. So here they go. They are images. So I'm going to upload the first one on my desktop. I have-- well, I created a different style, but just to demonstrate for y'all, here it is. Here's my Week 0. Do you use a Week 0? What do you put in your Week 0 module? Yes, all your orientation information. So you can see that's a different style. It's better to have all of them the same style. But just to demonstrate, and I'll just put in one more. Just so you see, there's Week 1. But there's one more step to get those to be going toward-- I could have them going down side by side. However, how do I link those to a module, though? AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: OK. Well, again, I need to give them an Alt tag. Button Week 1 is OK. I would probably take out that underscore. I would take off the P&G Button Week 1. That would be OK for that. And then I need to select, and which thing on the text editor here do I choose? The link. Now what? Course link. Now what? Modules. So let's say my week one is about inventions. And so I'm going to go ahead there. I'm going-- uh-huh. I see I have a problem. Do you see that I have a problem? What is my problem? This little image bottom right looks like a Davinci guy, right? I see a number one. I have something wrong with the accessibility. I'm going to click there and see what it is. It's because I didn't give a good name to the other button. And I need to spell it correctly. I know you English teachers don't get on me yet. Come on. Give me something. There we go. Ah, when you see these balloons. That's a celebration. That's a good-- that's a good thing. Party time. Some of you may have another image down here. Let me just save and publish for a second. I'm not satisfied with this, but just here to demonstrate for you today because it's quite ugly. But some of you may have-- and I think we have at my school, but I'm not seeing it right now. Some of you-- yeah, there it is. We have this little black button that's a secondary accessibility checker. I think it's called Pope Tech. Am I correct? And that will also tell you other things that maybe the Canvas Accessibility Checker won't tell you because the Canvas Accessibility Checker is not perfect. Maybe you're doing yellow on white. That would not be good, right? So it can check. It's giving me-- it says I'm OK. But it's going to check many other things for me as well for accessibility. So that's nice. Pope Tech. But I look to be OK. I'll just go ahead and save it. I'll come back to it later. It's not my finished work. So I've created it. Is it my home page? Well, it might be because I was working on this course before. No, it's not. It's not my homepage because there are two more steps. How do I make that page my homepage? And first, I need to go to Pages. I need to find that page, and I need to make sure it's published. It is published. The green arrow, and I need to go to these three arrows. What am I going to look for next to the three arrows? AUDIENCE: Choose as front page. KRISTI REYES: Use as front page. Well, let's see, is it my homepage? Let's see. Let's see. No, it's still not. There's a third step. Right, third step. This is what we forget after only making a homepage once. Now, I need to do the third step, choose homepage, because the default is for students to go to your course modules. I don't recommend. That is not the warm embrace. So page is front page. Now, let's see if that worked. Yeah, now it's my homepage. So it's a three-step process to create your homepage. All right. So we've done buttons. We've done home page. I talked a little bit about accessibility. One other thing, I think I sort of mentioned it. But if I did have a numbered list, don't type 1 period 2 period. So if I do put in a numbered list and things like buttons, it's best to do that-- ooh, I don't see that option. How do I find the options for numbering and bullets? The three dots, exactly. And so they are the buttons. I can see the button options. I can see the numbered list. It's better to do that in Canvas than copy and paste, all right. OK. Moving on. I have a few more things about accessibility in the handout. But to save time, I'm going to keep going. Questions so far? Yes. AUDIENCE: You keep saying handout. KRISTI REYES: Uh-huh. Let M show you that real quickly. So if anybody-- no problem. If you joined late or you missed, this is the QR code for the handout or you can go to bit.ly/otantdiscanvastips, and there is a PDF that you can download showing you everything I'm going over and more. All right, so moving on. Let me get back to my Canvas course. Next, what I want to talk a little bit about is-- oh, one thing that I really like. Let me just go to one of my modules here. Oh, do you ever see these cute little emojis? Awe, so that's a nice visual. What I've seen in some teacher's Canvas courses, if they have a text, they put a little emoji of a book. Or they have-- oh, I don't know. Different things like start here, maybe they'll have a little compass type of icon. Of course, I could go on my phone, but I can't create content on my phone. I'm a Gen X, not a Gen Z or anything like that. How you can do this. Well, let's see here. Let's say you can put on the title of a module or a title of a page, any content, you can put an emoji. And if you're not on a phone or a tablet that has the emojis, well, you can do this way. So let me go here and edit this. And let's say I want to put some sort of emoji there. Does anybody know how I can get emojis on a keyboard? [INTERPOSING VOICES] KRISTI REYES: The windows if you're on a PC, windows period, and I wrote it down, in case you're a Mac person. If you're on a Mac, it's Control, Command, Spacebar. OK, who knew? But my colleague here also told me about a website called get emoji. And so you can go there, you can find emoji, and you copy and paste too. But if I do the Windows icon key and period at the same time. Oh, look at that. Inventions. Well, maybe this is a writing assignment. I would put the handwriting. Oh, a GIF will not work. Not in a title, but maybe I want to go here. Let's see what else we got. I'll just do this one for fun. The I don't know. That's how you can get emoji. Sometimes if you're using them consistently and your module should be set up consistently so that there's the objectives page, the learning page, the discussion, the assessment, or assignment, right? Consistent module organization, then if you're using emojis, go consistently with the emoji so students get used to those. So I'll put that for fun. I want to next talk about embedding. Do you use PowerPoint in your teaching? OK. And then what I've seen some teachers do-- I don't really get the point. But I guess some teachers do this. They've shown a PowerPoint in class, and then they put the PowerPoint slides in Canvas. Well, it's good for students who may have missed class. I suppose, but if I just put-- what I did here is I added a PowerPoint as a file. I don't recommend. First of all, look at what it looks like. What this will look like is not a PowerPoint. It's going to look like a PDF. It's just going to look like a PDF. It's like just scrolling down through a boring old PDF. I want it to go like, hey, answer this question. What do you think? OK, next. Kind of like a PowerPoint show. So also, if I just put the PowerPoint as a file, do you think students know what to do with that? Not really. So it's better to embed your content on a page. Better to embed. Right? AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Sure, go ahead. AUDIENCE: Angela-- KRISTI REYES: Unmute yourself, and go ahead and ask. OK. So what I would recommend and this-- let's say that I have this this term and then next year at this time I've kept-- I changed the slides. Oh, my goodness. I have to re-upload the file. So if you do use PowerPoint, create a page. If you have Office 365, let me just show you really quick if I can find one that I have open. Let me close a couple of things. So we have Office 365, and what I would do is go there. I've created a PowerPoint, maybe in Office 365 PowerPoint, or I've just gone to my OneDrive and uploaded. Right, so you can upload a PowerPoint file. And so here, let me find it, here's that same PowerPoint. All right, in Office 365, I can go to File, Share, Embed, and create a page with that embed code. So let me just go here instead. So I'm going to add a page instead of just having a file with no context and students not knowing what to do. So I'm going to create a new page. We need to call it-- OK. I would probably put some instructions. Please watch this slideshow and take notes on the handout provided in class. To save time I won't. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Yeah, a little bit different. I'm going to show in one second. Yeah, so let me just do this preview real quick. That looks a lot better. Doesn't it, students? When I say that students will be progressing through a slideshow rather than scrolling a PDF. Yes, so does that work with Google Slides? Question. Mm-hmm. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] So is the PowerPoint [ INAUDIBLE ]? KRISTI REYES: Yeah, if it's just like a pptx and you upload it into a page, it's not going to look really great. It's going to look like that PDF. If you upload it to Office 365, it's stored online, and that's where you can get the embed code. AUDIENCE: OK. KRISTI REYES: Yeah. Great question. Thank you. Just to use that same page, do you create videos for your class instructional videos or do you find stuff on YouTube? AUDIENCE: Either. KRISTI REYES: Either, a little bit of both, right? We'll create and curate. So I have a video of that same slideshow. And so what I want students to do is to watch that video. So embedding with YouTube is quite easy, right? And so I would not just put a link, just an external link. Instead, I would put it on a page with some instructions. So here, I have this YouTube video that I created of that same slide show, so students can hear me. I go to what? Share, right? Now what? Embed. I get the embed code. I'm going to go back to that page. So I would put something like please watch this video, take notes on the handout provided in class or something, right? So again, two ways to embed the three dots in the cloud or the toggle on of the embed code, paste it in, and there it is. And I'll toggle back off and see if it works. Yeah, there it is. So there's the video. Now, if I have a handout-- at my school, we do create some packets even for classes that never come in person, the students pick up. And I don't know if you create instructional video, do your students just watch that video and just absorb and remember everything? Do they? AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Yeah, I usually provide them with a note-taking form. So it will have things that they need to listen, and fill in the blanks because they don't know how to take notes. And if they're just passively watching, they're not going to remember tomorrow. So I have a handout that they get the paper, but sometimes they're confused what page? I don't know where this is, blah, blah, blah. So what you can do with Word or PDF is you can embed without having to put anything online. You can sort of embed a file. So let's say here I have this video, and I want to put some instructions. I put watch this video and take notes on the handout. This is the handout. So I created a handout, like a listening guide, and I have it as a file. How do I insert a file into a page? Do you see up here which one? Tell me when to stop. Stop? You're right. [LAUGHS] Yes, so I have a-- I'm going to upload it I have it on my desktop. Here it is. A handout to go along with that video. They have the physical paper handout, but there's a visual for them to match it up with what's in their hand-- in their packet. I click Submit. Well, here it is. But let me just save. Let me just save. Will your students-- they're on a phone, for example. They may know that this is a download button, but what's going to happen? What's going to happen? They're going to download this. It's going to take them to another window, or ugh. So what we want to do is make this visible in line. So I'm going to go back to edit again. And right now, it just looks like a link. I'm going to click on that. What do you think now? Link Options. Now what? Preview inline. OK, Preview inline will make-- if I just choose this, they're not going to see the full thing. It may be a little bit slower to load, but I want them to see the full handout, like it's embedded. So I'm going to choose Preview inline and Expand preview by default, and Done. Let's see how the internet is here. One thing to mention, if I want some-- if I want this, now this is something maybe I wouldn't know that students even do because it's not an assignment. It's just a page. It has no point value or anything. If I want this to appear on students to-do list, when they log in on the right panel-- I'll show you my to-do list in a moment. Teachers have a to-do list when something gets submitted. You see that on your to-do list. I'm going to give it a due date. So students will be reminded because they'll see that on the to-do list. I'm going to give it a due date, and I'm going to add it to the student-- sorry, Publish, not that one. We'll publish it today. We'll make a to-do list. They need to do that by Monday, we'll just say. Now it's going to appear on their to-do list. Let's save it and see what it looks like. See how the internet is. So they see the video. I would have put some instructions there. And here it is. It could be a PDF or a Word document, but they can see it. Not just as a link. AUDIENCE: So but if it's like that, they've can't annotate it or anything? KRISTI REYES: No. AUDIENCE: So you made it instead an assignment, would that then go in the notes? And then if you marked it as annotate, then they could annotate it like notes right there, submit it and then they would have a record of it with all. KRISTI REYES: That's true. They could. That would be-- yeah, if you wanted really like accountability. AUDIENCE: Or if they wanted to make notes right there in their phone. KRISTI REYES: Yeah, they could do that too. Another option, yeah, definitely. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: That doesn't work on phones. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Exactly. If I made this as an assignment, I could also have a text box where they are typing in some words too. Yeah, exactly. It could be the assignment is a Google form that they fill out after they watch the video. For me, I'm just happy if they watch the video. [LAUGHTER] So yeah. So let me go home and look at the student view for a second because let's see if it appears on to-do list. It appears on the to-do list for the student right there. So at least that's a reminder. And once they've-- I'll talk about how you can add prerequisites and things in just a moment. Question, go ahead. AUDIENCE: Do you recommend or not recommend [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Say that one more time. Sorry. The recommend. Oh, no, I don't. I don't know if you can-- well, let's check it out. You're asking great questions. Announcements. So let's say I added an announcement. Can you put it on to do? I've never seen that before. Aah, Monica, do you think? I don't see-- I don't think you can put it on to do. The announcements are not my favorite because like here, I can embed something in an announcement, but when it comes to their email, it's gone. So you want to use only hyperlinks in announcements, not embedding. It won't come through in the email. It will come through on Canvas, but when they get the email announcement in their email, anything you've embedded is gone from the announcement, unfortunately. It's not something I really-- I don't see-- I don't see an option of to do for announcements. But that's a great question. And you know what? Canvas it's open source, and they take many different teacher recommendations and suggestions. One I would really love is if you use Google Sites and if you create a Google Site, when you create a Google Site, you can click on it to see what it looks like on a wide screen and a phone. I would love that on Canvas because when I look at something that I've created on a phone, it doesn't look as good. That would be nice. So we should give those suggestions. I'm going to go ahead and go back to my home page. All right, so you asked about Google Docs, let's say that I have-- let me go here. One second. Let me close some things out. We talked about that. We talked about that. We talked about that. Let's say you want to embed a Google Doc in a page. That's so easy. It's changed just a little bit. What you'll need to do is go File, and you'll want to go to Share. Now what? This changed just recently. Publish to the web, and then you get the embed code. That's how you can embed a Google Doc in and that's really nice. Some teachers build all of their Canvas courses on Google Docs. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I've got a Google Doc. Go to File. It used to be in a different spot. Share. Publish to the web. And then you see the link, but you also get the embed code. Very similar with Google Slides. If I just share right here, and they're just going to have a hyperlink. They're going to open it in a new tab, and chaos. So instead, go File, Share, Publish to the web, Embed, and then you will see a nice slideshow viewing as a slideshow embedded in a Canvas page. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Good question. I imagine. I'm not a numbers person. I wish I could-- Google Forms. Slightly different. Google Sheets, yes, thank you. Google Forms slightly different. I use Google Forms to get feedback from students Week 2, Week 4. And so instead, of just sending the link, I put it in a page with some instructions. Please fill this out. So I go to Send, and there it is, the embed code. Well, sometimes, we may want to embed other sites. So someone mentioned Quizlet. You can just put the link here. Yeah, but then, there's so many different activities. Maybe I want them to do some of the activities. So with Quizlet, where you're looking for the embed code, after you see your flashcard stack, I believe it's the three dots. The three dots for Quizlet. You go to Embed, but then you choose which activity you want to embed in your pages. I want to embed match, learn, test, flashcards, only the flashcards, so students are not leaving Canvas. It's inside Canvas still. Do you use Wordwall, anybody? I love it. You need to check it out. You create an account. I think I'm not logged in really quick. So let me log in. OK, so to find-- you can create with a free account. I'm all about free. You can create, I think it's three to five activities. With a free account, you can just find other people's activities so much easier. So let's say that I am teaching, oh, I don't know. Let's go to-- so what you need to do is go to community down here. My students love this. The Gen Z, the gamification, right? So I made an activity once for teaching Moodles. I tried it out the first time. I sent students to Zoom in breakout rooms. Someone shared their screen, and they were working. It looked like a Pac-Man game. I couldn't get them back from the breakout rooms. They were loving the game so much. And so let's say I'm teaching gerunds and infinitives, just to give an example. You want to go through the game first because sometimes people from other countries are created-- like, if you teach grammar, I don't agree with some of their grammar. But let's say that I like this one. So I choose one. The embed code is right there for me. Right there. Right there. Right there. Embed code is right there. Once in a while, a Padlet, same sort of thing. Padlet, go to Share, embed code right there. But sometimes, you have a website that you really like, and you want to put in Canvas. Let's say I'm doing simple present tense. Hello? I don't see any embed code. Well, I can't embed it. I just going to have to link it. No, I want to embed it. I will embed it. How can I embed it? There are multiple tools. But this is a simple one, iFrame Generator. It makes the code for you. So let's say I like this simple present tense, copy the URL. Go to iFrame Generator. Paste the URL, generate. Ooh. OK, let's try it out real quick. Let me go to my pages and make a page and see if it works. Oh, my goodness. It makes me so nervous. But I'll try it. I don't know. I don't know. My luck is sometimes wavering. Simple present tense game. Remember, there are two ways I can go to the cloud here or the embed toggle. Some pages may be very vertical or very horizontal. If you find out like-- let me just go ahead and publish it and see what it looks like. I'll just save it. If you find out, oh, no, students are going to have to scroll. Look at that. I don't want them to have to do that. That's OK. We can go back here. And I want to go back to the embed code, so I toggle that back on. And I'm not a coder. I'm not a coder. You just play around with it. I see that the width is 600 and the height is only 400. So let's multiply it by 3 or something, right? Let's just try that out. 6 times 3, help me, 1800. It might be too huge. Maybe I'll just go a little by little. Let's change this to 8. Yeah, double. I like that one. What was this? 1200, 800. Thank you. Thank you. Math people in the house. [LAUGHS] My frame is better. I might want to work with it a little bit better, but now students are still inside campus. OK. All right, what time do I finish? AUDIENCE: Six minutes. KRISTI REYES: Six minutes. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: Thank you. That was my next thing, iframe embedder will not work with websites like Jamboard. Jamboard, as you know, it doesn't even work well on phones. Students need that app. So then, you need to work with your IT people to have the Jamboard integration with Canvas. It just won't embed. OK, so sorry about that. Same for my Google Sites with the multiple tabs. It won't work with the iframe embedder. So a couple more things. Let's say that I go here. And I'm just playing around, and I delete that. Oh, no. Oh, my God. What did I do? I was working on that for hours. There is something called undelete. It's not foolproof. It's not 100%. You go here to the name of your course. You can see I have the name of my course, it's my school, my courses, my course number. I'm not going to go to pages. I'm going to delete that and put undelete. The word undelete. Please, please. You can see what you've deleted. Thank you, Canvas. Ooh, so then I can restore things. It's not foolproof. Another thing with pages, assignments, and so on, so you made a little change, and oh, I like it how it was before, actually. I saved it. What am I going to do? Well, pages have a history as well. Did you know that? Oh, my gosh. You learned so many things today. So maybe I want to revert to the previous. It will show you all your previous versions, and you can revert to a previous version. All right, I think I have two or so minutes. Sure. So you just go to your course title up there in your-- you go and delete everything except for-- now, I don't know how your school does it. My school will have courses and the course number. And after that last forward slash, type in the word undelete, and then you'll see the undeleted items. The last thing that I want to talk about really quick is just prerequisites and requirements. OK. So I have this module. I have it all. Oh, it's my favorite model. Oh, I love it. Students who are inexperienced, they're like, oh, I'm going to go ahead and take the quiz right now. Ooh. You didn't look at it the other stuff first. If you want to control how students progress through a module, you have that control. Once you've created your module, you go to the three dots for your module. Then you go to Edit. Maybe you-- I don't know about you. How many modules do you publish at a time and have available to students? Your whole course? I just do like one week at a time because I met a teacher once who teaches in the math department at my school. She goes she teaches 16 weeks, and she said, I just publish everything. For me, I would be a student like, oh, my God. Oh my, God. I have so much to do here. Now, I understand that some students need to see everything to pace themselves. My students, I don't want them jumping ahead. I scaffold my lessons in a way that I don't want them jumping ahead two weeks. So you can add a prerequisite of a module that they finish one module or view one module if you're publishing more than one module that they've viewed and gone through one module before they go to that module. You can control that if you're publishing more than one module at a time. That's prerequisites. But otherwise, within your module, each item you go to requirements. So my first one is just Introduction, Objectives, what you're going to learn. I just want them to view it. That's all. Then I go to the next item. The second item down is the Note Taking. This is what you were talking about making the note taking an assignment. I don't want-- I don't want them just to view it. I want them to mark it. So they're going to get this little circle that they have to check off when they've done it. Mark as done. Then I go to the next one. Let's say the next one is, I believe, a discussion. Let me see where's the discussion? Well, I can't find it. Let's just imagine. Do I have it there? There it is, discussion. I want them not just to view the discussion, no. They have to contribute to the page, et cetera. So then they're going through in the order that I want them to go through. So those are requirements, and then I can update. All right, and then, I think that's just all the time I have left. Now, let's say I created this course, and I want to copy it over. Well, then, what I do is-- your school may have different ways to do this. But if you're copying within the same account within the same school, then what I can do is I can simply-- I can go to the Settings and export. And then I have my new course. So here's the Export button. This one will actually download. This one will download. This would be really good if you're teaching at a different school. So I quit this job, and I get another job, but I'm going to keep my content. I can download this file and upload it to my new school's account. Or what I can do if I'm at my same school is simply I go to-- I go to my new account, and I import. And my new course is empty. So I select from one of my past courses like that. So that's all the time I have. Thank you for joining me. Yes, I'll put the hand up on a handout. AUDIENCE: [ INAUDIBLE ] KRISTI REYES: There it is. All right, thanks, everybody.
