Canvas Course Layouts
Updated onArticle"Working together to advance the online student experience by supporting our faculty—the frontline of student success."
As part of the suite of services offered by the Alamo Colleges Online Instructional Designers, we are excited you have chosen to take advantage of the optional Canvas course layouts created to enhance the online student experience and the equally important faculty support needs.
With that in mind, our team of Instructional Designers and Senior Multimedia Specialist collaborated with instructional design experts throughout the district to develop three (3) customizable course layouts (8-, 14-, and 16-week) for each College.
The layouts will support faculty in:
- Aligning their courses to the Quality Matters course design standards
- Creating a visual experience from course-to-course and College-to-College
- Organizing their courses to support the growing number of mobile learners
Each of the 8-, 14-, and 16-week term layouts are located in your respective College's page and can be downloaded for your convenience.
The following step-by-step instructions will assist you in incorporating all or parts of each layout and in customizing them to better suit your course.
