Central Foundation Year (CFY)
Deciding your module status
There are two potential routes for the application of your School template and set up of your module. Please read the definitions below and decide which status applies to your module, then follow the appropriate guidance. If you are unsure which status applies to your module then please contact TEL at TEL@sussex.ac.uk
New module
A new module is a Canvas module that has not previously been run and had no prior Canvas module site.
If you are the convenor of a new module that has not previously been run and has no prior Canvas module site then you will need to:
- Import the 21/22 CFY template from Commons.
- Set the home page
- Edit the Pages. The Foundation template includes Pages with general information and weekly topic pages. Each page in the template will need to have content added where indicated.
- Edit the weekly topic headings on the Home Page.
- Continue to steps 2-5 on the Canvas Module Set Up page.
Existing module with template
A previously run module which had a school approved template applied to it in 20/21. (If you have a module with an older template please contact TEL@sussex.ac.uk for advice. You will probably need to follow the steps for Existing module without template.)
If your module used the CFY Canvas template last year you do not need to import the template again unless you want to start the module from scratch.
- Import the content from the previous year’s Canvas module. See the CFY - importing selected content guide for step-by-step instructions for doing this.
- Set the home page if necessary.
- Continue to steps 2-5 on the Canvas Module Set Up page.
