Canvas FAQ for Instructors
Every course at HCCC has a Canvas site.
When you log in to Canvas, courses for which you are currently the instructor will appear on your Dashboard. To view courses from previous terms click the Courses icon which is right under the Dashboard icon on the green vertical Canvas bar; a fly-out list of current courses will appear – scroll down the list and click on the All Courses link.
Students can only see a course after it is published. For fully online courses, this is usually one week before the course starts. Online faculty have access to the contents of their fully online and hybrid courses in Canvas two weeks prior to the course start date.
Fully online and hybrid courses are preloaded into Canvas by COL every semester. Faculty are responsible for reviewing the content before the course starts. Remote and face-to-face courses are not preloaded and must be set up by the instructor. The Center for Online Learning has created a Canvas course template that you can use for your remote (or face-to-face) course! View details here...
