Anyone have a Canvas Shell for ITF+ for best practices for a college course?

[Dr. Mary Ledbetter]

I am new to CompTIA Instructor network and teaching at a community college in Texas. We are using the soon to be retired ITF+ course. I am interested in tips and best practices for how to present the CompTIA course in Canvas.

I linked the course materials and it is overwhelming, so I know the students will be as well.

It is an 8 week course start to finish.

I have some ideas but if anybody could help fast track me to success, I would appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Mary, I have a Canvas Shell I can provide that was developed by me, two other community college faculty, and a high school teacher. The project was grant funded (I managed the grant). Reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you. I'm currently using it as I do volunteer instruction for the Diversity Cyber Council.
