Canvas Voting Module for the 2024 General Election
A module you can import into your Canvas course!
Created by the Office for General Education, this module familiarizes students with the General Election in a presidential election year. It also shares some information about registering to vote, which is critical for students who sometimes harbor misconceptions and run into other tricky issues with registering to vote. The module takes students about an hour to complete, concluding with a 20-point quiz on content. It requires no direct instruction from you, though you are welcome to click through the content, too!
Importing this module into your Canvas course space and offering it to students as an extra credit, enrichment, or participation activity supports students’ civic education in a way that is structured, easy to deliver, and minimally disruptive to your own class time.
