Check out these guides below to help take care of your course while you are away.

Want to release your course content on a weekly basis, but find it hard to remember to click that publish button every week?
- Try using the "lock until" feature, which gives instructors the ability to set a specific time and date to release content to students.
  - Pro Tip: Remember to still publish all the content of the module before you leave. Even though it's published, students won't have the ability to see the content until it has been officially "unlocked" by Canvas.
Want to either remind students of an upcoming due date for an assignment or send a weekly introduction announcement, but have trouble remembering to actually send it?
- You can draft the announcement for your class ahead of time and have Canvas auto-release it at a designated date/time by using the delay posting feature within announcements.
  - Pro Tip: Remember to check the "delay posting" box and actually pick a designated date and time for the announcement to be released or Canvas will publish it for students immediately.
Want to give your students immediate feedback on their exams, but you are going to be away on vacation?
- Try utilizing the automated feedback option built into Canvas quizzes.
  - Pro Tip: Make sure the "Let Students See Their Quiz Responses" box is checked when setting up your quiz so students can see your automatic generated feedback.
