Canvas Navigation: Home, Modules, and Syllabus
Home, Modules, and Syllabus are basic areas you need to know in Canvas.
Home
Home is the first page that loads when you open a course.
- How do I use the Course Home Page as a student? (Links to an external site.)
- How do I use the Course Activity Stream? (Links to an external site.)
Modules
The Modules tool shows the course content and can be broken down into weeks, chapters, or units. This varies by instructor.
Syllabus
The Syllabus tool acts as a vertical calendar within the course showing both events and assignments. The description field may contain the syllabus or link to it.
