MPS Template
Deciding your module status
There are three potential routes for the application of your School template to your module, 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.
1. Apply the School template:
Please note : There are two versions of the MPS template, one named "MPS Online Learning Template 22/23 "and one named "MPS Online Learning Template 22/23 (Mathematics department)", use the Mathematics department template if your module is a Mathematics module, otherwise use the standard MPS template

2. Check that the Template home page has been set as the main page:
