Time Savers from Instructional Technology Group (ITG)
Summer courses are open to faculty in Canvas.emerson.edu.
Please note: These classes have a modified version of what we use for the online Canvas courses (modules, discussions, weekly overview pages that list readings and viewings). Our hope is that these elements will provide a starting point for faculty who are new to setting up Canvas. Feel free to delete anything you don’t find useful.
We have also turned on Ally for all summer courses. Ally allows students to access material indifferent formats and helps faculty see at a glance what accessibility issues a student might encounter.
Grading in Canvas
In addition to reviewing these resources, you can reach out to the Instructional Technology Group (ITG) for assistance. The Canvas gradebook can be intimidating if you’ve never used it before.
