DesignPLUS QuickStart Wizard

Have you ever felt that the design options in Canvas were a little lacking? Good news! The DesignPLUS QuickStart Wizard is now available to help you quickly create polished, accessible course content in Canvas. Well-structured course pages can improve student navigation, reduce confusion, and create a more engaging learning experience, and this tool makes it easier than ever to design courses with clarity and accessibility in mind.

This step-by-step video tutorial and quickstart guide will walk you through using the Wizard’s templates and content blocks to build engaging home pages, syllabi, and assignments, so you can spend less time formatting and more time teaching. The built-in templates follow accessibility guidelines, making it easier to create courses that meet the needs of all learners. Simply click the blue DesignPLUS QuickStart Wizard button above the Rich Content Editor to get started. Note, this button can take a few seconds to appear and is only available on new content.

 A variety of pre-made templates are available for you to customize with your own content. Not sure where to start? Try applying a template to a new page and experimenting with different content blocks. If you need help, CELTT is here to support you—submit a ticket through our faculty support system.
