Step 3 - Add Course Modules in Canvas


Step 3 -1: Add Modules to Your Course

Once the course schedule is complete, the framework of the course can be built based on the layout and organization of the schedule. Create a module in the course for each module in the schedule. The modules then act as folders that enable you to post and organize content.  In Steps 5 and 6 you'll add every item in the schedule under its corresponding module.

Please note, a template is available to be added to courses that creates a fillable first module that can then be duplicated. To view click here

To start adding modules go to the modules area of the course and use the Canvas guides below.


Step 3 -2: Publish your Modules

Publish each module. Students cannot see anything that is not Published. Remember, it must be GREEN to be SEEN
