Schedule Builderhttp://webshares.northseattle.edu/elearning/canvas/instructor/PDFCSB_v1_2.pdf

This pdf tool was created by Utah State University for the specific purpose of fluidly organizing your course structure. This pdf has been formatted already, so all

you need to do is to quickly add some basic information and your schedule is built. This info then

efficiently folds into Canvas and presents the structure of your materials.

demonstration of how to use this tool.
