We call this template "The Traditional" because it has been in production the longest. The primary difference between this template design and the others is the layout of the 'Home' page, which includes, course objectives, instructor contact info, office hours, textbook information, among other things.

This template is optimized to use the features available in Canvas. It has a condensed home page, inline viewing of the course syllabus and schedule, and less writing on each content page for easy viewing on mobile devices. The module content is chunked into four structured pages: Introduction, Instructional Content, Activities, and Summary. This model is designed to limit the amount of content on a single page, chunking the information in smaller digestible bites. It still includes all the instructional design best practices present in "the traditional" template including a sample welcome announcement, student orientation quiz, introduce yourself discussion, and mid-term survey.

This template contains many of the same pedagogical elements as the "Traditional" and "Multi-part Modules" templates. It varies from the other templates in two distinct ways. The 'Start Here' module comprises nine individual pages that each contains important course information. Chunking the 'Start Here' page into separate pages for each category of content reduces the amount of information on each page, which helps students retain the material more efficiently. In addition, the modules in Template C are organized in a multi-week format. This organizational structure will work best in courses that contain modules that span over several weeks, and courses that are thematic or unit-based.

This template features a simple and intuitive module structure with student-centered verbiage that provides context and guidance for your learners. Each module is organized by Learning Materials and Assignments to provide a clear and consistent learning sequence, and the final module offers a Course Conclusion and Final Survey to give your students a sense of closure. This template also features prompts that are only visible to instructors to help you build out your course. Like the other templates, it includes a Start Here module that prompts you to provide essential information for your students along with an Orientation Quiz and Introduce Yourself discussion.

This template is designed for web-enhanced face-to-face (F2F) courses such as a flipped-model classroom or blended/hybrid courses. The module design includes text headers that differentiate online and F2F content. Whether you plan to create a repository of resources for a F2F course or an interactive online learning community for a hybrid course, this template provides structure and essential elements to support students - including the Midterm Survey and the Start Here module featuring valuable course resources and the Student Orientation Quiz.
