Just as you would organize a syllabus, learning management system, or even a physical classroom, organizing your virtual workspace will help you and your students each semester. These steps will give you the tools to manage your classroom and create a synchronous or asynchronous learning space for your students.
Decide Which Direction to Build 
When setting up the workspace, your students will join; providing a sense of direction is helpful to everyone. You can build each class or topic using content tools and align them left-to-right 
, top-to-bottom , or from the center 
like a ‘web.’
Add Canvases 
Canvases provide visual boundaries for your grouped or related class material. You can share links to individual canvases, or workspace members can search for them. Build a canvas for each lecture, group project, or general class material for your students to refer back to.
BluePro Tip: Add canvases within canvases! Doing so creates visual material layers and increases how you can organize content in workspaces. It also makes it easier to search 
for your learning content in the workspace.
Save Templates 
Once you have a workspace structure you like, upgrade the canvases to templates! Spend less time prepping your workspaces and maximize productivity by re-using templates for each class section.
Use Workspace Hyperlinking 
Linking objects in a workspace helps you create a table of contents with waypoints, straightforward navigation during presentations, or a learning exercise for students to complete asynchronously.
Leverage Custom Colors 
Use the color picker for each workspace tool to create a color legend for different material types, group assignments, or class activities.
Time to get organizing! 
Don’t forget you can select your alignment method to match your needs.
