We've set up a sample course on Canvas so that you can see how your course should eventually look.  Whether you've been using Canvas for years or you're still trying to figure it out, this guide will help you become more comfortable with the platform.  Using screenshots from the site itself, we'll take you through all the different ways you can present your course materials and interact with your students.  And, as always, feel free to reach out to the CVN instructional design team if you have any questions along the way.  Let's get started!
