This is the best Canvas tutorial I have seen. I just attended a one hour Intro. to Canvas training provided by my district and left feeling completely overwhelmed and confused. This tutorial took 1/4 the time and is direct and easy to follow.
I completely agree. I just sat through a 4-Hour training through our Learning Center on campus and I left in tears. I am not a stupid person. I watched this and boom! I've got got a Canvas site. Great work, thank you CELT!
Comments really reflect the priorities of teachers vs administrators and IT designers. Absent the interaction between student and teacher and the assumption by both admin and our corporate culture that anyone can facilitate learning, LMS detracts too much from what we know as truly effective teaching. What about learning styles? What about on-demand conversation? Insight in a vacuum may be lost, if not reinforced. My kids are K12 and High School students just encountering Canvas in particular and LMS in general for the first time and are finding it absolutely overwhelming. I'm just a dad with an advanced degree and I miss the good old days. They feel abandoned, confused, and more than a bit overwhelmed. And I absolutely empathize with them. My 12-year-old has 5 different teachers, now, instead of one. Class sizes are 30-per and because it's online, that's supposed to be okay. Having watched this video, which was clearly informative, I can now say I empathize as much for their teachers. God bless you all for the work you do and I wish you all the greatest success. We need you. We appreciate you. And to the extent that I can be, I'm with you!
You must be an excellent teacher! I have been so frustrated with Canvas because all the training I have attempted so far has shown me all the little details first until my head was swimming. I had no idea how to set things up. Now that I have watched this, I feel like I can actually start doing something meaningful with Canvas. Thank you!
My school district just switched over to Canvas and will not officially train us teachers on it until one week before school begins. After a week of watching other videos, I am so relieved to find the simplicity and clarity yours provides,
Finally, videos that more "mature" people can understand. The training we were made to watch featured young people using some kind of weird robotic voice (over pronouncing words, but at random times) I learned zero from it. Now I think I can do this! As a "mature" teacher.
Very, very easy to understand and follow. District trainers go on and on about this, unwarmingly and it’s a drag. Thanks for the help. I can breathe now.
A crystal clear tutorial.After all that's what the art of teaching is all about : presenting and explaining the right information in the right order in a memorable way. Many thanks.
This teaching is so straight forward and I like the fact that it has been built in small bite sized tutorials. So I can go away and do this before going to the second tutorial. Thank you so much
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a life saver. Despite just taking a course in Canvas, when it came to actually beginning to develop my own course, and despite the various information offered, I found there was nothing like a step-by-step set of directions to follow. This is just what I needed. Thanks again!
Great easy to understand introduction to Canvas on how to build modules. The step by step instructions and visual prompts made it easy for me to understand how to build a module and how it would be used with the students. Thank you!
Take it one day at a time! It takes time to be able to transition into Canvas and teaching online but the best part is that you can continue to add more content as you see what works for the way you teach.
Thank you so very much for this video!! I kept trying to figure out when we would need a page versus an assignment and what was the difference between the two. I never really understood what a module was. This is so crystal clear and it makes so much sense!! Thank you for sharing that the module is like a folder and the pages and assignments are like the items you place inside the folder. Also thanks for sharing that the image section is like your locker; a place to store the items. After weeks and weeks of reviewing videos, this is finally the gold that I needed!!❤🎁💯
¡Mil gracias! Thanks so much for breaking this down. I've been to two Canvas trainings at my college, but I've never had anyone actually show me step by step how to create & fill a module. Very valuable video!
This video is priceless. I watched it before I took Canvas 101 through my college. Then I took the course and was still a bit fuzzy. But then I watched this video again and it all came together. I've watched 2 more videos as well and I am learning so much! I practice in the Sandbox what I am learning from these videos.
this is a my first time .i dont feel lost because i learn for more and thank you very much . i will ve following your next vedio . it is helping for our study
This was VERY useful. I have been trying for the longest while to start using this platform and have met pure frustration. You make it quite simple. I was able to follow and set up my module and page, and quiz. Thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Thank you very much. Having to change the college course that I teach from face to face and now having to teach all online. These videos you have here on youtube really is a game-changer. Your videos are very clear and very step by step and very useful
I agree! This is the first time I don’t feel lost. Thank you very much. With school looking to be 100% online initially, I really need the help. I’ll be following your next videos.
So is the virtual school that my attends, I’m a little anxious because I remember 3 1/2 school years ago when we both were new to their curriculum platform/program. It seemed like it took weeks, but it didn’t really. My som attends Aan online public school virtually. 🧩
Thanks this was very helpful. The step by step process is what I needed. Now I have a clear idea on to set up canvas. I will watch the video on the homepage.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have to build a new course in Canvas and until I watched this, I felt like I was flying blind. I will continue watching!
Thank you for this, from Kenya, You were articulate and easy to follow, I have been able to create a course in a systematic manner, was pausing and creating untill l finished.
Thank you - presented so much more clearly and a way that makes sense to me compared to what our district threw at us and expected to be ready in a week
Wow! You are amazing at creating videos. This is one of the first Canvas videos I actually could understand. Thanks to your video I am feeling confident about learning this new platform.
Glad you are feeling confident with Canvas! I've been teaching with it for about 7 years now and it only gets easier and more exciting as they update the platform.
Before I stumble into this video, I have watched two other ones. This seems the best so far - very distinct and clear. I wish to see more from this source. Thank you!
Are sub modules possible within a module? EG A week 1 module with a lecture notes sub module and a workshop sub module? Or are the pages the sub folders?
Wow! This came just at the right time! Thank you for doing an excellent job by going step by step, truly assuming that I have never used Canvas( which I haven't). Keep up the excellent work!
The BEST tutorial I have seen! I am panicking and just listening to your voice relaxes me and brings me to a better place... Thank you so much! Can you make more videos related to assignments? I teach Chemistry and most of my assignments are in pdf files and many of them cannot be converted. How can I assign work and collect it via Google docs in Canvas?
Your voice is so calming! This is better than my districts webinar on creating modules! Thank you!!!

I also appreciate the short quick step and the clear way you presented them.
Well-ordered AND...something other presenters seem unaware of...a voice that is easy to listen to and a pretty direct delivery.
To think I sat in a one hour webinar and didn't get even one piece of what you just did! LIFESAVER!!!!!!! Muchisimas gracias, Profe!!!!
Thanks for sharing!! This is a great video to get started :)
I totally agree with you!
My school district just switched over to Canvas and will not officially train us teachers on it until one week before school begins. After a week of watching other videos, I am so relieved to find the simplicity and clarity yours provides,
Very helpful Brother. Thank you so much.

This is the best instructional video for Canvas I've seen so far. Thanks.
Very, very easy to understand and follow. District trainers go on and on about this, unwarmingly and it’s a drag. Thanks for the help. I can breathe now.

I too love working in small bit sized sections. Makes it less overwhelming!

I Know right!!!!!!!
Canvas trainings (?!) tell you stuff. This guy shows you stuff. Big difference. Big kudos.
Today was my first time on Canvas and having to set up modules. Thank you so much for your help with this! You did a much better job than I expected!
I appreciate that you thoroughly walk a novice into the unknown.
Great easy to understand introduction to Canvas on how to build modules. The step by step instructions and visual prompts made it easy for me to understand how to build a module and how it would be used with the students. Thank you!
Very helpful for someone just starting and needing to jump in and build a course. Thanks!
Take it one day at a time! It takes time to be able to transition into Canvas and teaching online but the best part is that you can continue to add more content as you see what works for the way you teach.
This is my first time .I don't feel lost because I learn for more and thank you so much . I will following your vedio. It is helping for our study .
Easy to understand and follow. Takes out the fear in ability to use Canvas. Thank you.
Well that was about as clear as you can get. I want more of this straight and to the point easy to understand teaching. Thank you!

I was having a difficult time navigating through Canvas..... You made it so simple!!!! Thank You...
Thank you so much for your patience to teach and explain the meaning behind each concept.
I've been using Canvas for about 7 years and can totally understand the difficulty with navigating it at the beginning.
Thank you much for taking the time and patience to walk us through!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you very much. Having to change the college course that I teach from face to face and now having to teach all online. These videos you have here on youtube really is a game-changer. Your videos are very clear and very step by step and very useful
A very nice overview of Canvas and good advice on how to organize a course from scratch. Thank you!
The best explanation I have watched! So very clear!
I agree! This is the first time I don’t feel lost. Thank you very much. With school looking to be 100% online initially, I really need the help. I’ll be following your next videos.

You are a brilliant instructor. Thanks so much for this.
Thank you for this, from Kenya, You were articulate and easy to follow, I have been able to create a course in a systematic manner, was pausing and creating untill l finished.
I so needed this! Crash course 101. This is completely new to both myself and my students. I do hope my KG kids will be able to navigate my modules.
Thank you - presented so much more clearly and a way that makes sense to me compared to what our district threw at us and expected to be ready in a week
So much easier than what my district gave out. Thank You!
Thank you for making this LMS that seemed impossible so nice an clear.
Thank you, thank you! You safe my life!

This is a very helpful tutorial. I would like to share it to others. Thank you
Very helpful and great pace, so easy to follow along. Thanks!
Using modules to break up units and topics is such a great way to create your online course in Canvas.
Are sub modules possible within a module? EG A week 1 module with a lecture notes sub module and a workshop sub module? Or are the pages the sub folders?
Thanks very much. Very helpful and boosts one's online confidence. Cheers!
Wow! This came just at the right time! Thank you for doing an excellent job by going step by step, truly assuming that I have never used Canvas( which I haven't). Keep up the excellent work!
