Canvas-CE (Continuing Education)

Canvas-CE (continuing education) is an additional instance of Canvas available for use with external participants. Canvas-CE may be utilized for continuing education needs. Canvas-CE offers the same core Canvas features/functionality as the enterprise instance (canvas.ou.edu) but allows for users without OU credentials to access course materials, complete assignments, and take quizzes/exams. Access to third-party integrations may be limited and not match the enterprise instance.

 

Cost

The cost for using Canvas-CE instance is $40 for each external user per year. External users are counted and will be billed only one time. Billing is processed in July (for January to June users) and January (July to December users).

Availability

The Continuing Education instance of Canvas is available for all colleges, departments, and units across the University needing to enroll external participants in courses. External participants are individuals not officially enrolled at or affiliated with the University. Courses enrolling OU participants will need to utilize the enterprise instance (canvas.ou.edu) for those participants. 

Features

 
Announcements

Announcements can be useful when due dates change, as a reminder of approaching deadlines, or simply to welcome students to the course! Facilitators can include links,videos, and images relevant to the course or post internship opportunities for CE students.

Modules

Modules are used to organize course content by weeks, units, or a different organizational structure that works for your course. With modules, you are essentially creating a one-directional linear flow of what you would like your students to do. Each module can contain files, discussions, assignments, quizzes, and other learning materials that you would like to use.

Mobile App

You can access Canvas from any browser on your Android/iOS device. However, mobile browsers are not supported, and features may not function as expected compared to viewing Canvas in a fully supported desktop browser.

On mobile devices, Canvas is designed to be used within Canvas mobile applications. Canvas pages within a mobile browser are only supported when an action in the app links directly to the browser, such as when a student takes certain types of quizzes. Support is not extended to pages that cannot currently be used in the app, such as Conferences or Collaborations. Canvas Student mobile app is available on iOS and Android.

Quizzes

The quiz tool is used to create and administer online quizzes and surveys. You can also use quizzes to conduct and moderate exams and assessments, both graded and ungraded.
