Welcome back from summer break! A few things have changed in Canvas over the summer. Here are a few highlights.

• The new Canvas UI means Canvas has had a slight makeover, but don't worry: structurally, the organization and features have remained unchanged. Learn more about the new UI, and email canvas@gse.harvard.edu for a tour. Here's how to customize the courses in your dashboard.
• The GSE Canvas Team has created a Welcome to Canvas for Students mini-course. Please feel free to share with your students.
• Course tools have been streamlined into the Manage Course link. There, you'll find the familiar Manage People and Manage Sections tools, along with a new iSites content import tool. Learn more about the Manage Course tool here.
• Speedgrader also has a new UI! The Canvas tutorials on Speedgrader have been updated to reflect this change. View the updates to the menu here. Speedgrader will now auto-save assignment comments if you navigate to another assignment without submitting the comment first.
