Welcome to the English version of the introductory publishing course for KI's new learning platform, Canvas.

Limitations of the English version of this course

We have made this course to be roughly equivalent to the Swedish version of the course, though as it stands, there is a lot of extra material available in the Swedish version than in the English version. The English version of this course is not as thoroughly tested at this stage, so if you find any bugs, please report them. If you have the ability to read and understand Swedish, we highly recommend that you take the Swedish version of this course.

Additional Help Material

Whilst this course aims to cover a range topics which you are likely to need whilst learning Canvas, there is a lot of extra material available on Canvas' own help guide.

If you have questions

If you would like to ask a question to Karolinska's team of educational technologists about this course, please feel free to use the support form. Support questions are answered on week days only.

This course is based upon materials from Åsa Kronkvist och Dan Wirdefalk's 'Grundpubliceringskurs' from LärandeResursCentrum at Kristianstad University. They have published their course as 'Public Domain' so other institutions can make use of it, and many of the materials within this course are based upon their original work, but adapted for KI. We would like to thank them for allowing us to adapt their original resources. The films are from Canvas' own video help guides, and show a generic course layout, not the one which we use at KI.
