Subject Information replaces subject outlines as a key way to communicate curriculum information via Canvas to students. Approved Subject Information in CourseLoop will feed directly into your subject site.
Access Subject Information in Canvas
To find Subject Information, navigate to your subject site in Canvas and select ‘Subject Information’ from the course navigation menu on the left. Your Subject Information should display automatically. It may take a few seconds to load.
In a multi-subject site, select the Switch subject code drop-down to switch between the separate Subject Information instances.
Update Subject Information
How to update your Subject Information depends on the kind of information. There are three types of subject information that were previously included in subject outlines, and these are now managed in different ways across different systems:
- Governed data needs to be updated in CourseLoop as it requires approval. To find guidance on updating this, please visit Managing subject information on the UTS curriculum management SharePoint site
- Session-specific data can be updated independently by subject coordinators in their Canvas subject sites
- General information is now managed centrally and displays on the Important guidance page in the Get started module
Any changes made to CourseLoop subject fields will automatically update in Canvas Subject Information up until the census date for that teaching period.
Subject Information does not include assignment due dates. Ensure you communicate these clearly by adding due dates (and availability windows, where relevant) directly to your Canvas assignments.
Save a copy of Subject Information
From the Subject Information, select the ‘Print Subject information’ button. This will produce a PDF version of the subject-specific information, for recognition of prior learning or record keeping purposes. You can also save as PDF or print for your records.
