Welcome to HTML Coding in Canvas!

The purpose of this Canvas classroom is to share some great tips and tricks for using the HTML Editor (HTE) to obtain results in Canvas that cannot be done with the Rich Content Editor (RCE) alone.

Here to guide you on your journey: Me! Danielle Casey, your friendly neighborhood eLearning Program Coordinator! If your first thought about using HTML is "But I'm not a coder!", no worries! I'm not a coder either. To succeed in this venture you only need two basic skills: the ability to read and to copy and paste. That's really it!

This course is organized around five core modules, as shown in the table below. I highly recommend starting with the Getting Started module to learn more about HTML, but if you'd rather learn by doing, give the Beginning Users module a shot! (You'll learn how to make a snazzy table with clickable buttons like this in the Intermediate Users module!)

Getting Started with HTML	This introductory module will provide an explanation of the HTML Editor and how to use it. We'll also cover some information about HTML code in general.
Beginning Users	Simple snippets for all users!
Intermediate Users	This module includes exercises that are just a bit more tricksy, but still quite possible with practice.
Advanced Users	Some of the examples in this module are tough, but they are mostly tough because they require some preparation and twiddling (a very technical term used by geeks) to make them work.
Additional Resources	This module contains a variety of helpful links and resources for after you've worked through our basic tutorials!
Sharing Discussion	The course houses a discussion where you can ask questions and share your trials, tribulations, and triumphs with the rest of us. You are also encouraged to share your own HTML tips and tricks.
