Our middle school is just moving to Canvas from Google. Would you suggest that we have student complete the Passport to Canvas for students? If so how long would it take the average student to complete?
Thanks

Hi @SusanFinley6
We have had our students complete that course before and it was really beneficial as they transitioned from Google Classroom to Canvas. I don't know what your schedule is like, but we utilized homeroom time for a the first couple of weeks of school (our middle school homerooms meet daily for 25 minutes). I think it took most students 7-8 homeroom periods to complete, but of course some worked through it more quickly than others. Overall, both students and teachers found the time spent to be valuable.
Hi there @SusanFinley6 ,
I would definitely recommend using that course, or, Building with Canvas, to help your students familiarize themselves with Canvas. While I can't give you a specific amount of time it will take, because it can vary from student to student, you might be able to get it done in a morning. Our school also had it set up so students can go in and do it self-paced, too.
Best,Noah

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
