Topics Covered:
Module 9 covered building content in Canvas LMS.
Overview / Summary of
Topics:
The focus of this lesson was building a lesson in the Canvas LMS. I found both Canvas and Blackboard easy to use. Creating my content in word and then organizing the content on my desktop they way I wanted the lesson to flow made uploading content to both systems flow very well. I found it much faster to upload and create my lesson in Blackboard. I felt like I was having to do double work in Canvas by having to upload my content to Files then attach it to a Page. Creating quizzes was easier in Canvas. Overall, both LMS are easy to you and I can see my self using either one in the future.
Item of Interest:
I would like more information on the ePortfolio in Canvas. What are thought about using this option to showcase your work ? The information provided is minimal and I feel there maybe more to this option.
Areas of Help or Clarification:
The starkness of the UI really bothered my eyes. I turned off the High Contrast UI default but it really only affects the text. Did anyone else find the starkness of the UI bothersome, if so what did you do to resolve it? I do not want to decrease the brightness of my screen for just one website.
