Hi folks, it looks like Scott the Magnificent has already created us a CanvasHacks public classroom to play in, and enrolled us as teachers.

Any thoughts on structure? I have a similar course that is mostly complete that I am preparing for my faculty that I could upload to provide a bit of structure. It is intended for non-coders, and has the following module structure:

• About HTML and the HTML Editor - DO NOT FEAR THE CODE!
• Beginning Users
• Intermediate users
• Advanced users
• Sharing (sharing has a discussion and links to external resoursces

However, I am not a pushy sort, so whatever anybody else wants, I am more than happy to go along with. I can always upload stuff a piece at a time and fit it where I can.

My "lessons" are all one page, and include:

• A brief description
• The code snippet
• Anatomy of the code snippet where I identify those components that are easy to modify by novices like myself
• Instructions for use
• Troubleshooting, and
• Sometimes some obvious variations based on changes to parts of the code (colors, sizes, positions etc. - the minor stuff)

Let me know what your think!

Oh yah, and I also have a hokey Home page, because that's just the kind of guy I am:)

Great idea, Kelley.

I created a course shell in resources.instructure.com.  It looks like well over 60 people have already requested either student or teacher level access.  Those of you with teacher level access, feel free to invite your friends.  Anyone else interested, please comment to that effect.   @kmeeusen ​ and the super helpful  @Ron_Bowman ​ have been great about going in and inviting folks. 

Thanks

Scott

Hi Kelley, have been interested in the Classroom Hacks. I know that I requested to be added but don't recall getting an invitation, yet when I log into Canvas, I see the resources area as one of my options. However, I don't know how to login (and don't remember what email address I used -- probably my university account -- in my request). I feel like a real dunce -- I know that resources is separate from my university instance of Canvas, but how do I get a password to go along with my email with which I was added to the Hacks?

​Thanks for your tolerance 🙂

​Cindy.

Hi  @kmeeusen ,

Could you add me to the Canvas Hacks course pretty please?  Teacher access would be great, as I think I may have some items to contribute, if you are allowing folks teacher access still.
