Canvas: Frequently Asked Questions

Templates

We recommend that you build your Canvas course using the First Year Canvas Course Template. The template is provided to speed up the process of building your course and assist students in navigating across courses. The templates are recommended, not required. Faculty may design their own Canvas, using a landing page and modules to organize assignments.

Finding the template The templates can be found in Canvas Commons by searching for “Parsons First Year Template 21/22.

Importing the template into Canvas

Once you see the template you want to use you can import it into your actual course and get started! NOTE: Apply the template before you work on your class – the template overwrites any content. After the template is applied, you can import pages, assignments and modules from previous courses.

You must have Author or Collection Owner permission to create Guru Cards. Contact your team's Guru admins to use this template.
