Course Details

canvas.logo.95.light.jpgThe Course Details tab is the first area in a course's Settings tool. In addition to the tabs, there are buttons at the right (or bottom, if your window is narrow). The buttons in Settings allow you to:

  • View course statistics,
  • Validate course links,
  • Import and export course content, and 
  • Share course content to Canvas Commons.

The Course Details tab allows you to:

  • Change the start and end dates (override term dates),
  • Change the settings of some course tools.

Overriding term dates (you choose Course from the Participation menu) allows you to extend availability for students.

The "more options" link at the bottom of the Course Details tab has settings for student access to create posts, groups, pages, etc.
