Streamline your Fall course development with a student-centered Canvas course template. To access a Canvas course template, log into Canvas, then select “Commons” from the global Canvas navigation. The Canvas course templates are at the top of the list as Featured resources.

The Canvas course templates have been updated for Fall 2024, including a significantly improved editing experience that makes edits quick and easy. You can choose between two versions with identical content: 

  • Canvas Course Template: The base version of the template uses basic Canvas designs and is designed for instructors who are new to Canvas. 
  • Canvas Course Template Plus Visual Design: This version of the template uses custom visual designs adapted from Beautiful Canvas Pages Made Easy and is designed for instructors who want to enhance the visual design of their course.

You can read more about the template and view a complete list of the changes for Fall 2024. You can also register now for a 30-minute virtual workshop set for 12:30-1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2, about adapting the template.

The Division of Online and Strategic Learning provides support and assessment for technology-enhanced teaching and learning for on-campus, online, and blended courses and programs.
