The Instructure Course Evaluation Checklist is a collaborative creation from members of the Education Services department at Instructure. By combining our expertise in Canvas, sharing our knowledge of Universal Design for Learning principles, and applying our deep understanding of pedagogical best practices, we’ve created a tool that will elevate the quality of Canvas courses.

How To Use The legend within each header references what type of criterion is demonstrated. A ★ rating indicates an Essential and standard design component to online learning; a ★★ rating is considered Best Practice and adds value to a course; and ★★★ is Exemplary and elevates learning.

We know each institution has unique requirements for their courses and we hope this document will serve as a great resource or starting point. We’d love to hear how you’re using this checklist. Please leave comments in the Canvas Community - Course Evaluation Checklist blog post.
