How do I create a course in Canvas? I do not see the box that says create course.
Thanks
Hi @DorothyKlieber ...
Depending on what your school's Canvas administrator has set up, you may or may not be able to create Canvas course shells on your own. Much of this is covered in the light blue box of this Guide:
How do I create a new course from the Dashboard as an instructor?
If you aren't able to create a course on your own, that permission has most likely been disabled by your school's Canvas administrator. You'd need to reach out to that person or someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education department to have a conversation about how they create new course shells for you so that you can begin to add content to the course.
I navigated the Prince William County Public Schools website a bit, and I found a help page which may provide some contact information for you:
Help Desk - Prince William County Public Schools (pwcs.edu)
Hopefully you'll be able to get in touch with someone soon about this...good luck!

In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable.
