Key Information in Canvas | Staff guide
Key Information
Key Information will appear in the Canvas course menu on every taught course.
It allows students to have easy access to clear and consistent information about the modules they are studying. Key information gathers details from existing systems ensuring an accurate and up-to-date information is shared with students.
Key Information includes:
- A general statement about the module.
- Learning hours: This includes the total delivery hours and private study hours.
- Assessment details: This reflects the details within CourseLoop. Academic staff will still need to use the assignment area of Canvas to present guidance and submission details for both standard and deferral/referral tasks.
- Reading list: This provides a link to the library reading list software that academic staff will populate with the relevant reading.
- Additional links: This provides direct links to JMSU, Skills@LJMU, Student Wellbeing Team and accessibility information.
