DesignPLUS Template Pages

The Distance Ed team has created a variety of template pages you can use in your courses. There are homepage templates, student guides, and a syllabus template.

DesignPLUS Home Page Template

Learn how to use the Course Home Page templates in the DesignPLUS Sidebar to create beautiful and informative home pages for your courses.

Publish Your Course

By default all Canvas courses are unpublished. A Canvas course is not available to students until the course start date passes and the course is published. If the course start date passes and your course is still unpublished, students cannot access your course content. Use the Publish/Unpublish option under Course Status on your course home page to publish your course.

This allows you to share an assignment, discussion, page, or quiz with another faculty member.
