Self-Help Guides
UMN's Self-Help Guides take you through a wide variety of common practices and tools with screenshots and step-by-step instructions. They are broken up into five categories.
- Canvas Transition: Migrate a Course from Moodle to Canvas
- Create & Organize Content
- Communicating with Students
- Collaborate with Groups
- Assess and Grade Student Work
The Canvas Community also has a wealth of information and knowledge sharing about Canvas. Search the Canvas Guides when you aren't sure if a feature is available, or how to implement it.
