Enhancing Student Engagement in Canvas Through Real-World Programming Applications
Hello Instructure Community members! 👋
I’m Rajith Priyanka, currently facilitating Programming and Computing units using Canvas LMS in Sri Lanka. I’m excited to connect with educators and Canvas users from around the world.
One of my key goals is to make programming more meaningful and engaging for students by connecting theoretical concepts with real-world applications. In my Canvas courses, I actively use:
- Canvas Assignments with real-world problem scenarios (e.g., file handling applied to student record systems)
- Rubrics to provide structured, transparent, and consistent feedback
- Discussion Boards to encourage peer learning and collaborative problem-solving
- Modules to organize content into clear weekly learning pathways
- SpeedGrader feedback to support continuous student improvement
This approach helps students not only learn programming concepts but also understand their practical relevance in software development and industry contexts.
💬 How do you use Canvas LMS features to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application in your subject area?
Specifically, I would love to learn:
- How you design authentic assessments in Canvas
- Ways you use Discussions to promote critical thinking
- Strategies to improve student engagement and motivation
- Tips for efficient grading and feedback using Canvas tools
I look forward to learning from your experiences and sharing best practices. Thank you for being part of this collaborative and supportive community! ☺️
