Overview

Canvas is a learning management system that provides a central online space for teaching and learning. Instructors can share course materials, create assignments and quizzes, facilitate discussions, communicate with students, and manage grades. Students can access course content, submit work, participate in activities, and monitor their progress in one place.

Get Started

In the Classroom

  • 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 unique to the structure and goals of each course
