Navigating from Your Course Homepage - Live Virtual Courses

Here's what a typical Live Virtual course homepage will look like:

The name of your course will always be at the top of the page.
The course navigation will be on the left, though the tools may be in a different order in every class.
Access to the information in the weekly modules* will be found at the links on the homepage.
Your To Do list will populate on the right side of the screen when you have assignments due or comments on your submissions. When you are on the Dashboard page, the Sidebar will show you quick information about all of your courses, such as reminders about assignments due soon or other events on your calendar, as well as recent grades and feedback you have received.

*We mention weekly modules in #3 above. In a Live Virtual course, all of your course materials, including lectures, notes, videos and activities, are organized and housed in what Canvas calls Modules. They are like a folder with all of the information that you need for the week.

To get started in your course, we suggest the following actions at the beginning:

Review the syllabus, found in the course navigation on the left side of the screen (#2 above).
Click on the Welcome module link in the images area of the homepage.
Click on the Week 1 link to start learning!

You should read and complete everything contained in the learning module. Pages will vary in length so be sure to scroll to the bottom to take everything in.

To navigate to the next page in a module, click on the Next button at the bottom right of the screen. You can also go back by clicking the Previous button, located at the bottom left of your screen. Weekly schedules vary by course, based on the day of your actual class meeting. Successful students will log in to the course early in the week and then several times throughout the week.
