How to Incorporate Canvas into a Face-to-Face Course

Organize and Save Time

Canvas is not just useful for online and hybrid courses. It can also be used to save time and keep face-to-face courses organized and running smoothly.

Start by putting your syllabus, handouts, lectures, videos, website links, and other resources online. Then use face-to-face time with students for more active and engaging learning activities.
