CEHD Canvas Template
Based on the course design principles outlined in The Check, the CEHD Canvas template is part of a strategy for applying best practices to improve the CEHD student experience. The template provides instructors with a solid foundation for building an effective online course as soon as they request a site. See below for more information on how to use our Canvas template or write to deiteam@umn.edu for assistance.
To Get Started
The template is located in Canvas Commons. Commons is a digital library of educational resources created by and shared with the community of Canvas users.
