Core Template Getting Started
The Core Template was developed using bCourses' built-in course construction and management tools including Pages, Modules, Discussions, Assignments, and Quizzes. It offers a consistent organization founded in best practices in online pedagogy that ensures students can easily access materials and engage with your course without the need to learn any additional tools.
To access the Core Template, import it from Canvas Commons into your course site. The following resource walks through the steps.
