Lane Community College's instance of Canvas uses canvas.lanecc.edu. You can log in with your MyLane credentials, just like you logged into Moodle (L number and password).

Courses appear as cards on the dashboard, with sections for Published and Unpublished courses. To see a list of all courses, choose Courses from the left-hand navigation panel. You will see a pop-out menu showing your favorite courses. You can select All Courses to see a list of all courses you have access to and choose which ones you want to “star” as favorite.

These are now called Modules and can be found in the left-hand Course Navigation. These follow a similar format to Moodle's weeks and topics, with a logical order from the top of the page to the bottom. 

Week dates do not get automatically updated based on term dates like we had in Moodle.

For more info, check out How do I use the Modules Index Page?

Canvas doesn't have a global toggle. Editing Modules/Sections in Canvas on the Modules page in the Canvas course navigation and can be done at any time, without turning editing on and off. You can move content around in modules and add different types of content to modules. You must navigate to a specific Page, Assignment, quiz, etc. and click the Edit button or the three-dot (⋮) menu.

In Moodle, you could set checkboxes next to items so students could track their progress manually or automatically. In Canvas, this is managed at the Module level using Requirements. Go to your Modules page, click the three-dot (⋮) menu on the right side of a module header, and select Edit. Click + Add requirement. You can then choose whether students must simply view an item, submit it, or score a minimum grade before the module is marked as complete or before the next module unlocks.

Show and Hide is identified in Canvas as Publish (show) and Unpublish (hide). 

To check the visibility of course course items on the Modules page look for the crossed circle and the green check mark to the right of items and modules. 

If an item has a green check mark it is currently Published. When you click the green check mark on an item it will be changed to be Unpublished and hidden from students. If something has the grey crossed circle and you click it, it will be changed to a green check mark and it will then be published to students. 

To set your course visibility in Canvas you will access the Course Settings at the bottom left-hand side in the course navigation. Change the course status at the top right.

The Moodle News and Announcements is just called Announcements in Canvas. By default Announcements will appear in the left-hand course navigation menu. It will send emails out to students automatically when a post is made. 

Students are able to customize and stop course announcement emails themselves. We cannot prevent or disable their ability to change their notification settings.

The question bank being utilized in Canvas is called “Item Banks” found in the left-hand course navigation. Item banks/categories must be shared manually to a specific course when created. You can access any Item bank from any course you are a teacher in. 

Canvas uses a tool called SpeedGrader. You can access it by opening any assignment, quiz, or discussion and clicking "SpeedGrader" on the right-hand menu, or directly through the Gradebook. SpeedGrader allows you to view student submissions inline, add annotations directly to documents, fill out rubrics, and leave text, audio, or video feedback all on one screen without downloading any files.

In Canvas, your gradebook structure is determined entirely by your Assignments page. To weight your grades, go to Assignments in the left navigation, click the three-dot (⋮) menu at the top right, and check the box for Weight Grades by Assignment Groups. From there, you can assign percentages to your different assignment groups (e.g., Quizzes: 20%, Exams: 40%).

When editing any Assignment, Quiz, or Discussion, scroll down to the Assign box. By default, it says "Assign to: Everyone." To give a specific student or section a different due date (or an extension), click the + Add button below the box. Type the student's name in the new "Assign to" field and set their unique due date and availability windows.

In Moodle, you could "hide" an entire assignment column while grading it. Canvas handles this via Grade Post Policies. By default, Canvas automatically posts grades to students the second you type them into SpeedGrader. If you want to hide grades until you are finished grading everyone, go to your Gradebook, click the Settings (gear icon) at the top right, go to the Grade Post Policy tab, and set it to Manually Post Grades. When you are ready for students to see them, click the three-dot menu on that specific assignment column and select Post grades.

In Moodle, this was called a "metacourse." In Canvas, it is called Cross-listing. If you are teaching multiple sections of the same course and want to manage them from a single Canvas shell, you can request a cross-listed course using the ATC form. 

In Canvas, groups are managed from the People tab in your course navigation. Instead of creating individual groups first, you create a Group Set (think of this as the category, like "Project 1 Groups").

Click the + Group Set button.

Choose whether to allow students to self-sign up, split students automatically, or create groups manually.

Once the set is created, Canvas creates a dedicated "Group Space" for each group, complete with their own mini-announcements, files, and discussion boards.

Unlike Moodle’s "Switch role to..." drop-down menu, Canvas has a dedicated Student View button. Look for the glasses icon (or the "Student View" button) at the top right of almost any page (like the Home or Modules page). This creates a test student account, allowing you to actually submit assignments and take quizzes to test your course setup. Click Leave Student View at the bottom right to return to teacher mode.
