UNT LISSA Canvas - Pages

Throughout my time as a UNT LISSA Officer, I have been updating the Canvas classroom. I absolutely love organizing files and making information more easily accessible. Now that my time is coming to an end, I wanted to document the various ways I have updated Canvas so that members can easily find needed information. 

As I mentioned in my previous entry: UNT LISSA Canvas - Modules, I updated the modules in Canvas so that members could easily find information. As I started rearranging pages into modules, I thought that it would be helpful to create new pages to fill in any gaps. To keep the number of pages to a minimum, I found a template on the Canvas Community board that I used throughout the modules to keep the look consistent. The template "body" is tabbed so that information can be displayed on the same page without adding to the length of the page. It also allows for the "header" and "footer" of the page to stay the same as the tabs are switched for consistency. 

As you can see in the gif below, the heading referring students to the UNT Career Center stays the same no matter which tab they click. Similarly, the bottom sentence directs members to the Career Questions discussion board so they can interact with other members to get their feedback. 

For the Major Modules, the pages stay in the same order and all follow the basic outline of major information, relevant courses, presentations, and discussion board. 

For example, the major information page contains information on major requirements, contact information, and professional organizations to join. 

Members who scroll through the module will then see a page listing some relevant courses. This template page was created before I started LISSA but I did hyperlink the courses to their course information page on UNT so students who are interested can see what specific topics of the class. 

Perhaps my least favorite layout is the presentations page.  I haven't found a good way to organize the Zoom links, recordings, and presentation material. It all feels very cluttered to me. Nonetheless, a page is dedicated to recorded presentations that fit within the major. 

Lastly, the corresponding Discussion board for that major is attached to the module.
