You should have access to a Canvas sandbox site in which you can practice building content in Canvas (if you haven't and would like one, please contact us via the address on the homepage).

You might also have access to a module blueprint. Blueprints are where module content is built, before being copied to a live teaching site, which is where students are added.

A blueprint is always identified by a blue icon in the upper right.

A Canvas blueprint module homepage. A highlight shows the blueprint icon in the upper right of the screen.

Your blueprint will be based on a module shell - a template which might vary slightly depending on your department. A module shell provides a pre-made structure for module content which you can edit, and includes some other pre-made contents that are useful for building.

Optional task

Make sure you can access your sandbox site and/or a blueprint if you already have access to one.
