Syllabus Page

The Syllabus page in Canvas is not your traditional syllabus! It's much more powerful and can be utilized by all students K-12.   The Syllabus page displays your file as well as  any other teacher created information  AND automatically updates a list of all graded assignments, discussions and quizzes as they are added to the course.

As Collier County teachers, we understand that you may not a syllabus page.

There are two ways to set up the top portion of the syllabus page (syllabus description).

1. Upload a file of your current syllabus (in .pdf file format) and put a link to it on the syllabus page.
2. Copy and paste your current syllabus into the Rich Content Editor. Then fine-tune the formatting to make it look the way you want.

Here are some pros and cons of each method:

1. Uploading a file of your current syllabus is fast and simple, but it requires students to click on the file and open it to view the syllabus.
2. Copy and paste your current syllabus is not as fast as the file upload, but it allows students to view the syllabus without having to download and open a separate file.

Special Feature : The canvas Syllabus page automatically updates as grades assignments, assessments or discussions are added to the course.

Complete the syllabus description in your Sandbox course using one of these two methods discussed here.
