Background
Because instructors can choose from a number of possible configurations available when creating a new Canvas course space, they will not be automatically provision them each term. Instead, instructors will need to take a specific step using EEE+ GrandCentral to provision a course space for each course taught in a given term.
The steps below outline creating a combined (multi-section) course space. If you are interested in the other types of course space models available, please see our guide on that subject found here.
Creating a Course Space
- Go to EEE+ GrandCentral's My Canvas Course Spaces area.
Note: You may be asked to log in. - Once there, click the blue + Create Canvas course space button, either in the middle of the page, or near the upper right side of the page.
- Change the Term selector dropdown to the desired term.
- Click the checkbox next to each class you want to include in the course space and click Next.
Note: If multiple classes are selected, you will have the option to create either one combined (multi-section) course space or multiple separate single-section course spaces.
Please see our Course Space Model guide for more information about the two available models - Choose the appropriate course space model. In this example we are creating a combined course space, so we'll click Combined.
- Review the title of the course space. If you like you can use the Edit button to change it. In this example I have created a course space that combines to separate sections into one course space.
Because each section has its own name on the Schedule of Classes, you will be asked to give it a name new name. I have chosen to name it in such a way that students in either section would be able to identify it.
Note: You can use the following characters in the course title: letters (i.e. a-z, A-Z) numbers (i.e. 0-9) : - ( ) ‘ , & and space - To finalize the process, click the Create course space button.
- You have successfully queued the creation of a Canvas course space, which will finish processing in approximately 1 hour. Once completed, you (and any other instructors on the SOC) will receive an email confirmation once the course space(s) are available on Canvas.
