Canvas makes your educational experience more personal and tailored! With the option of setting your profile information, adding a profile picture and inserting a biography, you have the opportunity for an online educational experience which is more user-friendly, engaging and tailored to you. Moreover, by giving you the option to set your notification preferences and personalise your dashboard, you can set your own agenda and make your Canvas experience personal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Communication<\/span><\/span><\/mark> is key!<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We\u2019re very excited about all the ways in which Canvas makes communication easier for you! For example, the announcements feature means that you can be kept up to speed on important developments and news relating to your classes. You\u2019ll also be able to take part in discussion boards, meaning that your education won\u2019t stop when you leave the lecture hall; you\u2019ll be able to share ideas and discuss topics online on Canvas with your peers.<\/p>

You can also send and receive messages on Canvas, adding an extra channel for you to communicate about the issues which are important for your course. Your QUB student e-mail will rightly remain the way we communicate all essential information, but these ways in which Canvas helps us communicate will hopefully make your experience even better.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Making your assessment and feedback work for you!<\/span><\/span><\/mark><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We know that your assessment and feedback is one of the most important aspects of your University experience, and we\u2019re excited to see all the opportunities which Canvas offers you. For example, on Canvas you can view all your assignments and access your feedback in one place. You also no longer have to separately go to Turnitin to submit your assessments. As Turnitin is integrated into Canvas, you can submit all your assignments in one place!<\/p>


Feedback is also more tailored on Canvas. From student responses, we know that you want your feedback to be personal, specific and detailed. We also know that staff need to give a LOT of feedback to students so bridging that gap can sometimes pose a challenge. Canvas makes this easier, by providing an opportunity for staff to annotate your assignments online, so you receive feedback which is more specific to you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the great aspects of your Canvas experience is the Calendar feature, which will help you get organised and keep track of your deadlines. Make sure to populate your calendar as soon as possible in the semester to get a good idea of your assessments so you can stay organised and avoid those late nights in the McClay!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

QUB and QUBSU are making sure that you always have the help on hand when you need it on Canvas! You can get this help in a variety of ways, 24\u00d77, 365 days a year so whether it\u2019s a question about your or a last-minute query, you\u2019ll be able to get the support you need. No question is too big or too small so definitely get in touch when you need it! Info on how to Access Help<\/a><\/strong><\/p>

To get to grips with Canvas before you start, you also have an online Canvas Orientation Course which will give you all you need to know about Canvas. Make sure to go through the course as soon as possible so that you\u2019re fully equipped with the knowledge of how to make the most of all the opportunities Canvas offers you as a student! Access your Canvas Orientation Course<\/a><\/strong><\/p>
