About Canvas

PrintPrint

Penn State is transitioning to a new course management system called Canvas, for delivery of online courses to registered students. (For those of you who have taken other online courses at Penn State, Canvas is replacing ANGEL.) This course, EGEE 401, is delivered in Canvas.

A Canvas tip sheet has been developed to help you learn what you need to know about using Canvas at Penn State. Please refer to the resources below and read/view as needed to help you get comfortable and up to speed with Canvas. You may wish to return to this page throughout the semester for quick help with Canvas questions you may have.

Canvas at PENN STATE: Student Resources

Activity

Using the Student Resources above as needed, complete the following.

  • Review and update your Canvas Profile settings.
  • Open the Discussion "Questions about EGEE 401?" and click on Subscribe. (You may also wish to do this for the "Energy Chat" discussion. Often fun things happen there and you don't want to miss out!)
  • Review and complete your Canvas Notification settings. I strongly recommend setting both "Grading" and "Discussion Post" to "ASAP". We will use the "Questions about EGEE 401?" discussion to address any issues that may arise during the course related to questions about assignments or content. It is greatly to your advantage to receive immediate notification of postings made to this discussion! They may be about the very assignment you are working on. (It is also your responsibility to stay informed of content posted to this Discussion.)
