CPH Canvas Template

College of Public Health courses use a template to provide a similar look and feel across all CPH courses and meet Quality Matters standards. If you are new to using Canvas, in-person training is available through the Center for the Advancement of Teaching. Sign up for a workshop today! Self-paced online training is also available through the Ready, Set, Canvas! course. After you have completed training, you will be given access to import the CPH Canvas Template found in the Commons. Follow the instructions below for importing the CPH Template into your Canvas shell.

First, watch the video below, which will familiarize you with how the template works.

Next, create you Canvas Banner-generated shell.

  1. Log into canvas.temple.edu
  2. Click on the Course Tools area found on the vertical global navigation menu (toward the bottom)
  3. Next, click on Banner
  4. Then, click on + (next to the name of the course)
  5. Next, click on Create. It may take a few minutes for the shell to be created, so keep checking back to see if it is listed in your course list.

After you have created you Canvas Banner-generated course shell, follow the steps below for importing the CPH Template. Please import the template before customizing your course with your content.

  1. Click on Commons located toward the bottom of the vertical global navigation menu in Canvas
  2. Once in the Commons, search for CPH Template

  4. After clicking on the CPH Template, select the Canvas course (or courses) that you would like to import the template into. The list appears along the right side of your screen.
