Students – Have you taken a course that truly stood out in your Canvas experience? What made that experience so helpful or impactful to your learning? Was it due to clear communication, easy-to-navigate content, or another standout feature? Is there something about this course that you wish other instructors would adopt in their Canvas courses?

Our new Canvas Course Spotlight program offers you the chance to highlight elements of Canvas courses that have positively impacted your learning experience. The Center for Teaching Innovation will share these recognitions with the faculty involved, helping them understand which aspects of Canvas courses are most appreciated by Cornell students.

The survey for collecting course recognitions is now closed. Thank you to the 94 students who recognized 75 different courses for their Canvas use. We’ll share survey results here, and spotlight what made these courses stand out, in Summer 2025.
