An Overview of Canvas

Get Started

• Begin with the first page in Module 0.
• Click "Next" at the bottom of each page to work your way through each module!

  • Modules are where all your learning materials and assessments will be found.

  • When you click on this or any other page, you will read the material on the page and watch any videos and then when you get to the bottom of the page you'll click the Next button to go to the next page.

  • That's how you'll navigate all the content within each module. You don't have to click on the module link after reading each content page.
