Canvas has a course site for all courses listed in Banner (even if an instructor has never logged in). The first step is to log into Canvas @ Yale. Click on the “Dashboard” icon on the left (pictured below, labeled 1) to see all of your course sites. 

The syllabus is a foundational document and a critical piece of communication between instructors and students that warrants thoughtful design. As the syllabus is often the first form of interaction that instructors have with their students, it plays a significant role in engaging students and motivating learning (Harnish et al. 2011).

The Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning encourages all faculty enacting an academic continuity plan to add your syllabus to your Canvas course site. Consistent access to this information will ensure all students have a foundation for an effective learning experience.
