GrandCentral - Creating a Course Space

Background

Because instructors can choose from a number of possible configurations when creating a new Canvas course space, they will not be automatically created each term. Instead, instructors will need to take specific steps using EEE+ GrandCentral to create 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 Course Space Models.

Creating a Course Space

1. Go to EEE+ GrandCentral's My Canvas Course Spaces area. Please login If you have not already done so.
2. Click the blue + Create Canvas course space button located in the middle or upper right side of the page.
   
3. Change the Term selector dropdown to the desired term.
   
4. Click the checkbox next to each section you want to include in the course space and click Next.
   
   Note: If multiple sections 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.
   
   
5. Choose the appropriate course space model. In this example we are creating a combined course space, so we'll click Combined.
   
6. Review the title of the course space. If you would like you can use the Edit button to change it. For this example I have created a course space that combines two 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 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.
   
   
7. To finalize the process, click the Create course space button.
   
8. You have successfully queued the creation of a Canvas course space. The course space 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.
