How will you run each session?

If Canvas is set up properly your class time may become more of a Q&A, ideas sharing, prep session that reinforces what is on Canvas.

What should your Canvas shell include?

Assuming your course already meets the 14 Elements, consider updating to include the further 6 Uplift elements
A Canvas course aligned to all or most of the 20 elements will contain all the information for a student to study remotely, then you use concurrent class time to inform, engage and build relationships between you and the students.
Learning outcomes detailed in the shell and aligned to assessments and rubrics.
