Course Development
In MyCanvas, courses can be developed in any course space, including file addition, module organization, and assignment creation. Typically, courses are built in a Sandbox shell and later copied to a Blueprint to serve as the course Master.
- The Blueprint course is usually copied into the empty shells used to deliver courses to students.
- A course that is to be delivered to students will show student enrollments in the course’s People tool; Sandboxes and Blueprints are never used to deliver to students and hence will never have student enrollments.
