Get Ahead: Learn Canvas Before Your Courses Start!

Course Syllabus: FALL 2025

This course offers key insights to help you succeed at Central Community College (CCC), focusing on the essential tools and features within our powerful online learning management system, Canvas. As a Canvas Manager, I suggest proactively familiarizing yourself with Canvas before your courses commence.

Mastering Canvas early on can significantly enhance your academic journey by:

✅ Navigating your courses seamlessly
✅ Submitting assignments stress-free
✅ Efficiently accessing course materials
✅ Enhancing communication with instructors and peers

Given that ALL courses at Central Community College rely on Canvas for grading, announcements, and assignments, preparing in advance ensures a smoother and more successful semester. Utilize tutorials, practice assignment submissions, and explore features beforehand to maximize your learning experience from day one!

About Your Instructor

Peggy Chessmore working at her desk. I'm Peggy Chessmore, I have extensive experience with Central Community College's online courses and am dedicated to enhancing the learning experience for faculty and students. Working with faculty to optimize assignments, discussions, and tests online is crucial for creating effective courses, and I have been actively involved in this process since the beginning of CCC's online programs, building two of the initial four online courses by transitioning them from "study guide" versions to fully online formats. I’ve also been a part of training students at the Computer Training Center, and I hope this reflects my commitment to empowering learners with digital skills.

While I had already graduated from CCC’s Information Technology Program in 2000, I also continued my education by receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Business Information Systems and Master's Degree in Leadership, all while managing a busy life with eight children. With my astrological sign being Libra, I’m determined and able to balance multiple responsibilities effectively.

Additionally, being involved as a leader in my church's worship team hopefully shows my commitment to serving my community beyond my professional endeavors.
My diverse experiences and accomplishments have demonstrated a passion for education, technology, and personal growth.
