It is very important to follow the steps for each part of this process. Here is a description of my experience downloading Canvas and the GA course.
1- Download Introduction to Digital Citizenship.
2- Sign up and register for Canvas. Then download.  Downloading the material was easy. 
3- In Canvas, click on courses then add course. Name the course and select make course publicly available. 
4- Import Content and upload material from "Introduction to Digital Citizenship". Select content, unzip file from zip, browse computer hard drive, select folder to upload to, select course files then click on import. This was very user-friendly. Canvas prompted me for each step and let me know what to do. 


There are various ways to invite students to join the course. One way is by sending a link via ea mail. Students can manually join that way. A second way is self-enrollment via a join code. Lastly students can self-enroll via a secret URL.
