20-21 Grading Timeline

Summer:

"Students will have access to this year's courses until Jun 16, 2021. After that, their courses will be removed from their dashboards and they will not have access/will have read only access. Teachers will have access to make edits, score assignments, and make changes to grades in courses until Jun 21, 2021. After that, you will have read only access. (Don't worry though, you will still have access to import that content into next year's courses so you won't need to start from scratch!)"
"Are you a go-getter, a planner, always two steps ahead? Do you hate vacation time and want to spend June and July preparing to mold young minds this fall? If you are planning on working on your Canvas Courses over the Summer to get a jump start on next year, here are a few ideas on where to start!
- Share to Commons If you'd like to share your course content to Commons privately, with others in the district, or with the public, you will need to do so before your course is concluded on June 21st. (Don't worry, you can still import the content without sharing to Commons if you choose. See below.)
- Play with your "SAMPLE" Course Since you won't have your course shells for next year's classes until closer to the fall, you can use your SAMPLE course or enter a tech request for a new course to begin preparing
- Import From Commons Import content from courses you have shared to Commons or resources shared by other educators into your new Sandbox Courses.
- Copy Course Content From Past Course You can import all of your course content from the previous year or select specific content from past courses. Here (in your Sandbox), you can make any additions or edits to prepare for next year. Make sure to select the box to include completed courses to get a full list.
