What makes a really great Canvas site from students’ perspectives? At the end of semester 1, 2018, over 5000 students from across the University provided their feedback on their unit of study sites on Canvas. Based on their feedback, we’ve identified a number of outstanding Canvas sites and, with permission, have made them Open Sites so the University community can find out what students find most effective, and why. From clear organisation, easy navigation, and aesthetics to well-placed assessments, meaningful feedback, and carefully blended learning experiences, come and explore 13 Open Sites from around the University and borrow inspiration for yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"GSCT1602<\/a>This Canvas site features a simple but effective weekly module structure with clear, linear organisation. The site is infused with a welcoming, open, and fun culture that breaks barriers between teachers and students. Students also appreciated the weekly checklists as well as the regular topic-focussed discussions to share perspectives and interact with teachers and other students.<\/p>\n

The progress surveys we\u2019ve been doing to monitor our own learning and provide feedback to the teaching staff has been useful.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
