DesignPlus Train & Play

DesignPlus Basics
DesignPlus is a new plug-in for Canvas now available to you. It enhances the look and feel of your Canvas pages and helps you to structure your subject site for a better and more engaging student experience. Features include heading templates, callouts, accordions, icons, pop-ups and progress bars which can support clearer navigation, consistency and organisation of your Canvas subject site.
