How can Canvas enhance teaching and learning?

  • By building and maintaining course sites as central hubs for associated materials, including resources, activities, assignments, and assessments
  • By compiling and storing various metrics of student engagement and performance
  • By connecting to University systems, such as the Student Information System (SIS), to import and export rosters, grades, and other key information
  • By integrating with additional learning technologies to encourage the development of specialized Next Generation Digital Learning Environments (NGDLEs) unique to the structure and goals of each course
