Content Navigation - Tech Support

As many parents and carers are digging into Canvas for more insight into their students' engagement I wanted to acknowledge the amount of content that there actually is on there and take a minute and look through the structure of a course from the perspective of a parent/observer in Canvas. This information will be generalised as some courses have leveraged the system in subtly different ways, it will still be of support to you in interpreting the engagement of your student/s as deviations should be clearly communicated.
