\"Canvas<\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce that new module sites for the 2018-19 academic year are now available within Canvas for all staff registered as a module convenor, assessment convenor or tutor for modules that exist on the University\u2019s database. These are blank sites which will enable you to create new content from scratch, allowing you to refresh your module content and update any materials, links and readings or alternatively to roll over (import) the migrated content from your 17\/18 sites, ready for the start of teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can access your module sites by going to canvas.sussex.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0and logging in using your Sussex username followed by @sussex.ac.uk (e.g. ano23@sussex.ac.uk) and your password.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>A Guide to Module Rollover<\/span><\/h1>\n

Rolling over content is a straightforward process, TEL has created a step-by-step guide to take you through this. This guide is also available on our guides and FAQs page –\u00a0<\/span>www.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/learningtechnologies\/canvas\/canvasfaq<\/a> – where we will be adding further guides ahead of the new academic year.<\/p>\n

You could also use Canvas\u2019 own guide – <\/span>How do I copy content from another Canvas course?<\/span><\/a>. Please note that by default Canvas uses a different terminology, referring to modules as \u201ccourses\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canvas support from Technology Enhanced Learning<\/span><\/h2>\n
