Canvas Modules for Student Success
Our Student Success at your Fingertips Canvas modules present content aimed at developing a student’s knowledge and understanding of a topic and the skills needed to use and apply that knowledge. Content in both the student modules and the faculty information about the modules is organized into Knowing and Using -- Knowing a topic or module presents content aimed at introducing a concept or skill, while “Using” presents strategies for applying that knowledge or module.
