Canvas Year End

Canvas Year End

      Preparing for 2017-18


The basic info you need to regarding Canvas Year End!
1. You will have editing access to your current (Year Long; Semester 2) courses until June 30th.
2. After June 30th, your PowerSchool courses will turn to “read only”. This means all of the content stays, but you won't be able to edit anything in the course. You will be able to move content into a new course and regain full editing capabilities!
3. You may move any of your course content into a course shell (click here for directions on creating a course shell and here for directions on how to copy content from a Canvas Course into that shell!***). This will be best to do if you would like to get working on your 17-18 courses before the PowerSchool roll-over. Once the PowerSchool roll-over occurs, you will have your official course shells for the year and can import content into the course from either a shell course, your 16-17 courses, or from the Commons. 
4. Please see me if you have any questions regarding Canvas year end! Thank you all for your hard work with Canvas this year. You all did a fantastic job with our first year...can't wait to see what everyone does next year!
5. On Monday, information regarding our Year Two goals will be shared. 

***I recommend that you use this method to move content rather than hitting the “Copy Course” button found in Course Settings. “Copy Course” will go into the 16-17 school year which will close June 30th.  A course shell will never automatically close.
