Faculty's Guide to Canvas
Canvas' Syllabus Tool
The Syllabus tool acts as a self-populating calendar within the course. Events created on the calendar and assignment due dates appear in its vertical list of dates in the course. The Syllabus tool also has a description field you can populate with the Rich Content Editor. The syllabus description is a great place to post contact information, link to a Page describing course policies, and attach a downloadable syllabus document.
