Sample Course Design
This page provides a visual example of how a course can be structured within Canvas to create a clear, consistent, and easy-to-navigate learning environment. While branding, design, and content will vary across courses and programs, the underlying structure is designed to help students move through the course with confidence—and to make it easier for instructors to update, reuse, and manage the pages over time.
Many courses will use the Modules view to deliver content to students. It will look something like this.
Content is present, but structure is implicit. Students must interpret what to do, when to do it, and how it connects.
Through the instructional design and build process, the course is transformed into a structured set of pages designed to support a clear and intentional learning progression.
Below are examples of several redesigned course pages, including a Course Homepage, Getting Started page, Course Overview, Module/Week page, and Assessment page.
