Celebrate Excellence in Education: Nominate Outstanding Educators by April 15!
Greetings everyone!
Our campus is migrating to Canvas for the upcoming semester and I'm working on some of the different ways to layout a course. My question is specific to modules and pages.
I have seen course modules that become extremely cluttered with all of the resources, links, files, etc... that are added for students to use as they complete a week. Our practice is usually to have a "Steps to Completion" page that outlines what the students should be doing as the week progresses.
My questions:
Our primary concern is avoiding what we like to refer to as the Scroll-Wheel of Death. I'm wondering if there has ever been any talk of creating a specific type of page to handle all of the links, documents, etc...
Thanks for any tips!
One thing you could try is to do accordion menus.

What the video showcases isn't truly accordion menu, but when you stack them then it has a similar functionality. There has been plenty of debate on this topic. Should we hide content behind tabbed interactions and accordions, or should it be accessible all at once? Or should we chuck the content into several pages that the students will have to navigate to in order to complete the tasks? It's a debate for sure.
