How to Use the Canvas Syllabus the Right Way

Are you among the cadre of instructors who disables the Canvas Syllabus page in your course navigation? Let me show you a nifty way to organize your syllabus content so it’s easier for students to access (meaning they’re more likely to actually read it!). While we’re at it, I hope to change your mind about the much-maligned, often misunderstood Course Summary feature. C’mon along!

NOTE: Canvas has upgraded the RCE since I created this episode. Instead of the "Insert Content" panel mentioned, you'll use the Links icon in the RCE toolbar to create your "back to Syllabus" link.
