Canvas may be used for approved purposes other than academic courses taught during a current term. Listed below are examples of how Canvas course shells may be used for course development, training, and user groups.
- Development Course - An instructor working on the development of a future course may request a blank Canvas course shell with no student enrollment. The instructor could later import the content into another Canvas course for instructional use.
- Training Course - A department or office may wish to use a Canvas course to deliver training materials and assessments.
- User Group Course - A university group or committee may request a Canvas course shell which they can use to exchange documents and messages.
