[This page is part of a mirror of my Canvas learning system pages I created for my Drama 112 Intro Stage Makeup class at DVC. If you want to use this content for another Canvas class shell you can find it in Canvas Commons by searching for “Tara Maginnis” and you can download all or part of this directly into your shell with all the extra cool formatting of colored divider lines, right side embedded Giphy animations, etc. already put in, if you are working with a different system, it is ok to copy and paste from here, and then customize the pages as you need for your classes].
Watch the Canvas Overview for Students video for the big picture on navigation.

<——- Navigate through our course using our course navigation menu on the left. *Pro tip: While the Canvas mobile app and calendar are handy, make sure you regularly log into your courses on a desktop or laptop computer and use Modules to progress through learning units, as this view gives you a step-by-step view of what to accomplish each week. Once you have started a Module, progress to the next learning activity by clicking Next. If you need to take a break and come back to work at a later time, use Modules to quickly find your place.
