During his days as a clerk for the federal government in Salem, Massachusetts, Nathaniel Hawthorne began crafting some of his most notable works. The Hawthorne in Salem site celebrates his life and times in this very unique place. Created by the North Shore Community College in nearby Danvers, the site offers up an interactive timeline of dates from Hawthorne's life. Visitors can browse through six sections, including Life & Times, Literature, and Buildings and Houses. The Maps area is a delight, offering maps of Salem Village, Salem in Hawthorne's time, as well as Salem today. Accompanying articles also provide riveting insight into Salem around the time of Hawthorne's birth in 1804. The site's introductory video is also worth a look. [Scout report]

This is our first large scale production "end of semester" with Canvas. We tried to capture the most important points without overwhelming you with details. Additionally, as Instructure receives feedback, Canvas behavior may change from what is outlined here. We will do our best to keep you informed with the latest changes from Instructure.
At this time, there is no set time limit for courses to exist in Canvas. The college is discussing an appropriate time frame. Until this time frame is decided, we will not be deleting courses. We still recommend taking steps to back up important items from your course, especially the grade book and course structure.
