Canvas Course Template
UWM instructors can import a Canvas Course Template into their Canvas course sites. The Canvas Course Template was designed to help instructors efficiently and effectively set up their courses and to promote a consistent student experience among courses in Canvas. Instructors are not required to use the template and can incorporate all or just some of its elements to suit their specific needs. The template is intended to be used by the widest range of instructors teaching a diverse array of courses in any modality (online, blended/hybrid, and face-to-face).
