    How do I set a time zone for a course?

    All dates and times throughout a course are displayed according to the course time zone. Courses automatically default to the account time zone. However, as an instructor, you may be able to change the time zone for your course.

    Note: Users can specify a time zone in their User Settings, which does not have any effect on the course time zone. If users have set a specific time zone in their User Settings, all course dates and times will display in their local time, but if they hover over the date and time, they can also see the course date and time.

  • You can change the language settings for your course to override user and account settings. This feature should probably only be used for foreign language courses.

  • If you have permission from your admin, you can change your course name and course code in your course Settings in Canvas.

    Note: Course names and codes may be generated by your institution's student information system (SIS). If these fields are not editable, you cannot change the course name or code.

    How do I access Canvas Studio?

    Depending on your institution's goals and preferences, Arc can be accessed in several ways. Most commonly, Arc accounts are integrated with Canvas.

  • When you are finished in your Arc site, you can log out of your account.

  • If you receive an email welcoming you to Arc, you need to verify your account by setting up a password. This password is used to access a specific Arc site separate from Canvas. When you accept the account invitation, the login page shows the URL you should use to manage and access Arc.

    Most commonly, email invitations are only sent to users who are invited to Arc as admins. Currently Arc users can only be managed by admins in the institution's Arc site.

    The password you create for your Arc site currently does not sync with your Canvas login, so for best results, create the same password for Arc that you use for Canvas. If you choose a different password, you can reset your password in your Arc site at any time using the password reset link.

    Except for the Arc site user menu, Arc sites display the same content as found in an Arc account.

    How do I add a rubric to a quiz?

    Your instructor has the option to set the Syllabus to be the home page for your course as well.
