Faculty can set module requirements and even lock modules which can be scheduled to open on a certain day and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weekly modules are where students find course content including Overviews, To Do Lists, Assignments, Discussions, Lectures, Demonstration, Resources, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-adv-tabs advgb-tabs-wrapper advgb-tab-vert-desktop advgb-tab-vert-tablet advgb-tab-stack-mobile advgb-tabs-ef374a58-5d8b-4fb1-9e7c-eaf162663d6a\" data-tab-active=\"0\"><ul class=\"advgb-tabs-panel\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"advgb-tab advgb-tab-active\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"background-color:#e9e9e9;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-radius:10px\"><button class=\"advgb-tab-button\" id=\"advgb-tab-_15644a-cd-0\" aria-controls=\"advgb-tab-panel-_15644a-cd-0\" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\" style=\"color:#242424;background:none;border:none;width:100%;text-align:inherit;cursor:pointer;padding:8px 16px;font:inherit\"><span>How do I use the Modules Index Page?<\/span><\/button><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"advgb-tab-body-wrapper\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-radius:10px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-tab advgb-tab-body-container\"><div class=\"advgb-tab-body-header advgb-tab-class- header-active\" id=\"advgb-tab-panel-_15644a-cd-0\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"advgb-tab-_15644a-cd-0\" tabindex=\"0\"><span>How do I use the Modules Index Page?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"advgb-tab-_15644a-cd advgb-tab-body\" aria-labelledby=\"advgb-tab-panel-_15644a-cd-0\" style=\"display:block\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/community.instructure.com\/en\/kb\/articles\/660888-how-do-i-use-the-modules-index-page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How do I use the Modules Index Page?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"position:relative;width:100%;max-width:900px;margin:8px 0;padding-top:56.25%;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.app.guidde.com\/playbooks\/7Bz9VZxKnpAU9DuqXizAp2\" title=\"How do I use the Modules Index Page?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;background:#000;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overview\">What is an Overview Page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Overview page is a page that lives in the weekly modules and provides students with a roadmap for the weekly course expectations. The Overview page can be used to provide contextual information or a brief introduction about the week&#8217;s theme or content, provide critical information about the week, provide weekly learning outcomes that tie back to larger course learning outcomes, and student To Do Lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outcomes\">What are Weekly Learning Outcomes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Weekly learning outcomes are actions that students should demonstrate each week that will lead them to obtaining the larger course learning outcomes. Weekly outcomes keep the course content on track and provide sequencing for scaffolded learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to keep 3-5 weekly learning outcomes in mind for each week&#8217;s course content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"to-do-lists\">What are Weekly To Do Lists?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Weekly To Do Lists provide students with a list of items to accomplish related to the course content for each week.

basis for a final grade in a course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assignment Groups allow faculty the ability to cluster like assignments together and assign a percentage of the course total. For example, you can create an Assignment Group for discussions which make up 30% of the final grade in the course. Assignment groups allow this 30% to be assigned to the discussions group, and Canvas will run the math calculations in the Gradebook for the grade total for each student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for Assignment Groups to calculate properly in the Canvas Gradebook, Assignment Groups must total 100%.

Rubrics are typically tied to weekly outcomes or course learning outcomes and can help align assignments and assessments in your course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubrics can also facilitate the grading process, make assignment criteria clear and known to students, and clarify expectations and communication with students regarding their coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty can create and attach a rubric to an assignment in Canvas for quick and easy grading in the Canvas SpeedGrader. When attached to an assignment, the rubrics are visible to students on the course assignment pages, so there is no confusion as to the expectations of an assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-adv-tabs advgb-tabs-wrapper advgb-tab-vert-desktop advgb-tab-vert-tablet advgb-tab-stack-mobile advgb-tabs-870c4c40-0d18-4a1c-96be-5379cb985636\" data-tab-active=\"0\"><ul class=\"advgb-tabs-panel\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"advgb-tab advgb-tab-active\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"background-color:#e9e9e9;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-radius:10px\"><button class=\"advgb-tab-button\" id=\"advgb-tab-_c1aeb5-11-0\" aria-controls=\"advgb-tab-panel-_c1aeb5-11-0\" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\" style=\"color:#242424;background:none;border:none;width:100%;text-align:inherit;cursor:pointer;padding:8px 16px;font:inherit\"><span>How do I add a rubric to an assignment?<\/span><\/button><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"advgb-tab-body-wrapper\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-radius:10px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-tab advgb-tab-body-container\"><div class=\"advgb-tab-body-header advgb-tab-class- header-active\" id=\"advgb-tab-panel-_c1aeb5-11-0\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"advgb-tab-_c1aeb5-11-0\" tabindex=\"0\"><span>How do I add a rubric to an assignment?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"advgb-tab-_c1aeb5-11 advgb-tab-body\" aria-labelledby=\"advgb-tab-panel-_c1aeb5-11-0\" style=\"display:block\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/community.instructure.com\/en\/kb\/articles\/661102-how-do-i-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How do I add a rubric to an assignment?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"position:relative;width:100%;max-width:900px;margin:8px 0;padding-top:56.25%;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.app.guidde.com\/playbooks\/omwrrwPEe9uULfK5mSRkSZ\" title=\"How do I add a rubric to an assignment?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;background:#000;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrap-up\">What is a Weekly Wrap Up Page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Weekly Wrap Up page is a page that is used to reiterate concepts, themes, or topics that were covered during that week of the course.
