Prep Course

A prep course is a Canvas site that can be used to prepare material for an upcoming course, to try tools and features, or to store material from a previous course. You can use a prep course to test Panopto before making videos available to your students in your active course sites.

You may already have a prep site. If not, you can request one.

Request a prep site from the Canvas Chatbot

- In the left global Canvas navigation, click on the Help icon. In the window that opens, click on "Chat with the Canvas Support Chatbot." Ask the chatbot for a prep site by saying "Please create a prep site." The Chatbot will confirm if you have a current Teacher, TA, or Support role in Canvas and ask if you want to add an additional name modifier to the prep course. After these confirmations, the Chatbot will create your prep site for you.
