Canvas Course Student Competition

Welcome to the first ever Loyola Canvas Course Student Competition!

 

We want to know what you think a good Canvas course looks like!

 

 

How Does it Work?

Over the course of a month, undergraduate students can sign up to receive access to build and develop course templates in Canvas. This is called a “sandbox,” a virtual environment for building and testing software. No coding knowledge is required. Students are limited to one sandbox each.

Within 1-2 working days after you sign up, you will receive an email that a sandbox course has been created for you. The sandboxes will be available from XXX-XXX, but you can sign up in advance with this form. You can sign up anytime before XXX at XXX The last day to edit your template is XXX.

 

Requirements and Judging:

Courses can be as simple, colorful, eccentric, or otherwise created as you would like!

Each course must include:

• At least three quizzes, three assignments, and one exam to demonstrate the ability to meet class functions. You can base these assessments on any content for which you have knowledge. 
• An explanation of why you designed it the way you have. This could be in the form of a note on the homepage, an uploaded document, video, etc...

Course templates will be judged on the explanation, how well it supports class functions, how user-friendly it is, and creativity.

First prize: $100 Amazon Gift Card

Second Prize: $50 Starbucks Gift Card

 

Winning courses will be saved to the Loyola Canvas Commons for faculty access.
