Upload your course documents to Canvas.Be sure your modules and files within the modules are published in Canvas so students can access them. Your modules should be used to organize your course content including files, assignments, quizzes, and other resources. Organize your Modules by week, unit, or other organizational structure that will make it easy for students to find content and assignments as the term progresses. Use Modules to organize your course materials.We recommend hiding menu items that link to content types that should be more controlled and can be accessed through Modules e.g., Files, Pages, Rubrics, Assignments, and Quizzes. Commonly hidden links include Attendance, Chat, Collaborations, Conferences, and Outcomes. Generally, it is best to hide any menu items that students will not be using or content type menu items that students will access through Modules. Hiding course navigation menu items can reduce confusion for your students and keep them focused on the relevant course materials.
