Cut down on paper use by taking up a few of these practices in Canvas.  

• Use the Syllabus feature – an easy reference for students, no paper needed. 
• Upload files that were previously handouts (create PDFs). Files can be easily added to Modules. 
• Make use of Quizzes – no more paper/pencil quizzes, all quizzing can be completed online. Questions can be shuffled and answer choices, too. Multiple attempts can be enabled. 
• Assignments – can be turned in and graded through Canvas. PDFs can be uploaded and submitted by students and you’re able to add feedback to the files.
• Library and OER Resources — learn how to find and integrate online resources, such as permalinks to library databases, links to the library catalog and e-resources, and links to Open Access materials and OER (Open Educational Resources).
