Quick Tips IMPROVE Series, Part 6: UniVersal Design
Welcome back to the IMPROVE series of Quick Tips. Today we’re looking at the letter V in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for UniVersal Design Tips. Okay, yes, we took some liberties with that one, but bear with us -- acronyms are tricky to come up with!
We’ve focused the last few weeks on creating page content via text and various kinds of media. We’ve touched on accessibility throughout, but we wanted to take a week to highlight universal design strategies that can help make your Canvas content accessible not only for those with differing abilities, but for ALL learners.
Quick Tips IMPROVE Series, Part 5: Other Content Types (Links, Files, Images, and Videos)
Welcome back to Part 5 of our IMPROVE series. We’re on to the letter O in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Other Content Types.
Last time, we discussed how to use the Rich Content Editor (RCE) to present textual content within Pages in your Canvas courses. In Part 5, we will expand on embedding other types of content and media.
Quick Tips IMPROVE Series, Part 4: Rich Content Editor Overview
Welcome back to Part 4 of our IMPROVE series. We’re on to the letter R in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Rich Content Editor (RCE).
So far, we’ve created a modular course structure and begun creating individual Pages to house our content. Now it’s finally time to start adding the text, files, links, images, videos, and more that make up your online course content.
Quick Tips IMPROVE Series, Part 3: Pages Overview
Welcome back to Part 3 of our IMPROVE series. We’re on to the letter P in our IMPROVE acronym, which stands for Pages!
We’ve spent a lot of time talking about Modules so far, and for good reason -- they create the overall structure of the course content. Now that we have established that structure, we can move into creating the content for those modules. In this post, we will discuss the purpose of Pages, how to create them, and how to add them to your modules.
Quick Tips IMPROVE Series, Part 2: Modules Overview
Welcome back to Part 2 of our IMPROVE series. If you recall our acronym from our last post, you’ll remember that the M in IMPROVE stands for Modules Overview. In this post, we will discuss the purpose of modules, how students navigate them, and how to create a module structure in your own courses.
Quick Tip IMPROVE Series, Part 1: Introduction to Series on Modules, Pages, and RCE
