Here are some quick screencasts about various Canvas course running topics. They were made so they are generally applicable to educators or staff involved in Scarlet Canvas courses. Scarlet is Ohio State’s public-facing LMS platform for non-credit, professional development, continuing education, and enrichment courses. The screencasts are protected in MediaSite by an OSU login but they are just using an empty course-shell:
- How to login to Scarlet Canvas
- How to post an announcement to a course
- How to message everyone in a Canvas course
- How to add students to a course if they already have a Scarlet Canvas account – could also be used for adding teaching assistants if they already have a Scarlet Canvas account.
The prefered way to get students into a Scarlet Canvas course is to have them register through the course’s Canvas Catalog listing. - How to see a student’s grades in a Canvas course – shows how to check student progress in a course and their grades. There’s a frequently asked list of questions about grading in the Canvas Instructor’s gudies.
Seeing something visually in a screencast can save time. Captions to these videos were made with Otter.ai.
