I'm starting a new series of videos about canvas instructure in which you
will learn how to create your online courses using canvas platform and this
video is a second of this series the first was about introduction to canvas
and in this video I will show you how to do your course settings in canvas
instructure so let's get started
hello and welcome to my channel my name is tahir and if this is your first time
please if the subscribe button and also the notification well to get notified
whenever I post a new video on this channel every Tuesday and Friday the
Animas instructure is a wonderful platform for making online courses if
you are a tutor teacher or a trainer who provides teaching and tutoring to high
school students are even you are in adult training so in that case
canvas instructure is the best platform you can use it is absolutely free and
you can create courses and then you can ask your students to participate in
those courses so instead of doing all the tasks again and again for example
giving students the assignments making quizzes so instead of doing this for
each and every student what you can do is you can create your online course
make assignments make your course modules there put everything on canvas
instructure and then andro the students in that course they will just log into
your course they will take your lectures or assignments and quizzes and even if
you want to provide the face-to-face training you can do those sessions on
your own premises are at any place and then you can also assist your students
with your online courses so this is the idea that you can remove some of your
load or some of your routine activities by putting this on canvas platform and
then asking students to take those activities and you don't have to mark
those quizzes you can create quiz banks which will automatically be marked by
canvas so you just just have to give the
marking criteria and everything and then you will be free of all this hassle so
in this video we are going to see how you will make settings for your
particular course and then in other videos in the future videos
I will explain all the related information about creating your online
courses so without further ado let's get started no first we log in to your 10
verse account simply type canvas in Google search bar and you will be
presented with this page log in to canvas and this is my canvas dashboard
in order to start a new course we have to click on start a new course
but this we will be doing in one of the next videos in this video I am going to
show you how to do some of the course settings and for this I will be using
one of my previous courses and this is the course I want to use I click on that
so there are two things which we will discuss in this video first thing is
what are different options for us to set the homepage of our course and second
thing is what are some of the important settings for our course which we have to
do in canvas dashboard so in order to set the homepage you click on this
choose homepage option and there are a few options you can choose from so the
first thing is course Activity Stream so this is a particular page which will be
presented if you select this option similarly pages front page which I have
chosen in which you can design this page put an image and some text if you want
so this is one of the options we have another option is course modules and if
you select course modules then on your homepage all the course modules I have
these three modules are not very visible in this screen but these are the modules
so these modules will be at my home page of the course then I can also put
assignment list so that when students log into the course they directly see
what are the sandwich they have to do and I can also put the syllabus of the
course as my home page I mostly use course modules but in this course I have
selected this option just cancel this now these were some of the options
available for setting the course homepage and now we will be looking at
some of the important settings of your course so this is your global navigation
bar and this is your course navigation bar so in the course navigation bar at
the very end you have this Settings icon if you click on these settings no we
have this menu here and here we can set few settings so the most important is
the first one course details and if I click on course details no I get at this
long page and this is very important because here we have to put
some important parameters about our course you can choose any image you if
you click on this you can drag and drop your image here no here you select the
name of your course then you can select the course quote then you can select the
time zone you can put a start and end date for this course and then you can
say that students can only participate in this course within this date and then
you can restrict the students that they won't be able to view the course after
these dates and also you can restrict the students from viewing before the
start date so these kind of options you just select here then you can either
select the copyright course or you can also select as a creative common license
for your course if you want now there are three types of visibilities
available course visibility are your institution level visibility and the
public visibility where anyone will be able to access your course so these are
few options you set here in the course details tab the next tab is section step
in sections tab you can create sections for your courses in the my just clicking
on this plus sign and putting the name of the section in the navigation tab so
these are the navigation tab which you can set here so you can change the order
of these by just dragging and dropping for example I can drop it here or I can
put it back this will change the way your course navigation bar looks if you
don't want student to see any of these sections for example if you don't want
student to see their attendance just click on the attendance and drop it in
this area if students click on this they will be redirected to the homepage of
the course the next is apps and in apps you have many apps available for your
canvas and this is one of the powerful features that you can use to get some
advanced functionality in your course so there are so many things and every day
new apps are coming people are trying to give more features into your course and
you should be looking into this if you are in a teaching tutoring or training
business these are the things which you should be
you have to learn these apps and see what features they provide to your
canvas course and you can add these apps into your course now in feature options
you have a few more features which you might want to include in your course and
just by clicking on this it will be included in your course these are
certain grade books are some instructors are anonymous instructor annotations so
these are few features which we will be discussing in next videos so this is how
you do settings of your course in canvas instructure and in most cases you should
only be focusing on this tab which is the course details tab so I hope to LIKE
this video if so please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel thanks
