Create a site with a welcoming Home page and clear navigation for your students.
1. Add and Manage Files and Content
Files are where you upload course files, syllabi, readings, or other documents. Faculty can lock folders so students cannot access files. Files can be placed in Modules, Assignments, or Pages. Files and folders are listed, by Canvas, in alphabetical order and cannot be rearranged.
2. Create Pages
Pages can contain text, video, and links to your files. You can even make links to other pages. Pages are usually used to provide content and educational resources that don’t necessarily belong in an assignment. Pages can also be used for creating a class wiki.
3. Use Modules to Organize Content
Modules may be used to organize content and help control the flow of your offering.
The left sidebar is referred to as the Course Navigation menu. It consists of several tabs which may be made visible to or hidden from students. (Tab names cannot be edited at this time. However, additional tabs may be created by adding an external app and/or using the Redirect Tool.)
5. Create a Home Page
Create a welcoming landing page for your students.
6. Last Steps: Test and Publish
A course is made accessible to students by publishing it. Use Student View before publishing to see the course as students will see it.

Use this online self-paced Canvas course as a step-by-step guide for developing your site.
