The software that powers CarmenCanvas is constantly improving, based on feedback from instructors and students. The latest of these user-requested improvements is the new Gradebook: basic features are available now and more will be added throughout spring and summer semesters.
Proudfoot is a huge fan of the Canvas Teacher app, and her favorite feature is the ability to moderate discussion boards. “Using the Canvas Teacher app, I was able to respond to students within an hour, even while traveling,” she explained. “It makes my life a lot easier when I don’t have to get on a computer to check and respond to discussion board posts.”
“By using a template, you can focus on your course materials and assignments rather than messing around with small details to make your Carmen course look good,” Pairis-Garcia explains, “and your students will benefit from a more consistent experience across their courses.”
“We hear that by having this feature as the first a student sees in the modules, students are then introduced to the day-to-day best practices that help them as they navigate through the online environment.”
