Description:
Build the backbone of your async course in one sitting. This hands-on 101 maps the full lifecycle of an online async course, then shows you how to build its structure in Canvas using content you already have. You'll connect key pedagogical moves (structure, sequencing, pacing, clarity, engagement) to Canvas features (Modules, Pages, Assignments, Grades). You'll also leave with a design rationale to finish the build on your own.
