The course navigation automatically collapses when you open Grades. This is to provide more screen space. You can show the navigation menu again by clicking on the Menu button on the top right of the page.

Instructions for expanding the course navigation menu.

When you are viewing Canvas on a smaller-sized screen, a minimized window, or at a lower screen resolution, the navigation items on the right side of the page will automatically move to the bottom of the page.

You can access the buttons by either scrolling to the bottom of the page or by adjusting the resolution or window size if permissible by the device you are using.

The module also needs to be published. Although published content is visible by students, if the content area (module) is not visible, they will not be able to see the content within the module.

Instructions for publishing a module.

Instructors can either submit a request to add the student to their current semester's section or extend the existing course's availability for a particular student.      

Information needed:

• Course name (example: ENG 101-1001) 
• Term (example: Spring 2021)
• Duration the course should remain open to the student

By default, students will have access to their courses one week prior to the start date if the course has been made published. Also by default, students will retain their access for two weeks after the semester ends.

Respondus LockDown Browser is a customized browser that increases the security of test delivery in WebCampus. When students are required to use Respondus LockDown Browser to access an exam, they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. An additional optional feature of LockDown Browser is Monitor, a fully automated proctoring solution.

Please review the Instructor Guide for instructions for important guidelines for enabling LockDown Browser and/or Monitor on your WebCampus exams.

Respondus is software that can be useful if you are interested in creating online assessments. Online assessments can be created right within course, but Respondus can serve as your question database, delivering questions to several online courses. You can also salvage test questions you’ve used for traditional paper testing by importing your properly formatted text document into Respondus. Once you have Installed Respondus on your computer, you may begin creating questions.

Thanks to the Online Education, Respondus is available to the entire UNLV Campus.

Students can respond to structured questions, along with on-the-fly questions, using either a clicker or a mobile device. Responses and response summaries can be displayed in real time to the participants.
