Build Canvas Pages with the Content Builder is a free, one-week course for lecturers, teachers and learning designers who build pages in Canvas. You will learn to use the PrettyJaded Content Builder to make clear, consistent pages from ready-made components, without writing any code.
The course runs over five short days of about 20 to 30 minutes each. Each day ends with something you can use: you will build a page, choose an output style, bring it into Canvas and save it for reuse.
Every day earns a skill badge, and finishing the week earns a course badge you can share. There is a short quiz on Day 4, with a pass mark of 70% and retakes if you need them.
