Customizing Canvas Templates | Overview

What is a "Ready Made Template"

Ready Made templates are created by Instructure’s Design Services Team. Templates help reduce stress load, encourage growth and help course creators design an engaging Canvas experience by turning a blank course shell into a fill-in-the-blank Canvas course. Educators and Course Designers love the magic that comes from using templates as they expedite the course creation and building process. Students love the consistency that comes about when institutions use a template and focus on content rather than course structure. Templates are intentionally designed to incorporate best practices, aligning with principles from the Course Evaluation Checklist v2.0Links to an external site. and are easy to use.
