Creation and Investigation into Courses - (Navigate 3.1.2)

Learning Management Systems--Time to Set Up A Course of My Own!  


After hearing great things about Blackboard, I decided to try that LMS to create my account and shell.  For whatever reason, I was not able to load the supplied module content.  Blackboard stated that the files were not formatted correctly for Blackboard.  So...it was time to go to Plan B! 

I then tried Canvas and was successful in creating my account, content shell, as well as adding the content zip file.  It is very important, as is the case in most activities, to follow the directions that are available.  I needed to select "Import Content", then selected "Zip file to unzip file" choice.  It took a little while, but after it all uploaded it was there and ready to access!  I loved the user friendliness that Canvas provided.  It was much less frustrating in that it actually accomplished what I meant for it to accomplish. 

I look forward to becoming even more accustomed to utilizing Canvas as my online educational journey continues!
