When you enter Canvas, you will see courses listed on your dashboard. One of these courses is entitled “[Your Name] Sandbox.” You can use this site to play with features. Cannot find it? The guide, Locating Your Course, demonstrates how to find courses and organize your dashboard.
Complete the training Higher Education: First Day Ready
- The video, Accessing First Day Ready (1:25 minutes) demonstrates how to enroll in the tutorial.
- In the Canvas dashboard, click on the “Help” icon located at the bottom of the navigation bar, which is on the left side of the screen
- Select “Training Services Portal”
- In the “Learning Library” tab, select the tutorial “Higher Education: First Day Ready”

The tutorial is a series of modules that guide you through the features of Canvas from the instructor’s perspective. It is self-paced so you can complete modules over an extended period of time.
Import Content into Your Canvas Instructional Course Sites
All FoxTALE course sites have been migrated to Canvas. The guides at Importing Course Content demonstrate how to review your migrated sites, labeled Moodle, and import content from those sites into your new instructional course sites, labeled 2021 Fall or 2022 Spring.
We are glad to answer questions as you explore. You may also want to join us for 30-minute web conferences in which we cover specific topics. See the Digital Learning Calendar for the listing of topics and dates.
