Academic for credit courses, except for those taught in the School of Medicine, have a Canvas course shell. Teaching faculty are automatically assigned a “sandbox” in Canvas. A sandbox is a course shell that does not have students enrolled and is used to practice and test Canvas features. Additional sandboxes and resource courses may be requested. Contact your Canvas administrator for more information.
