UVA is gradually transitioning most of its course sites to UVACanvas—a new, central system. Review the transition plan for timelines for each participating school and department to begin using UVACanvas.

Canvas

Build and manage interactive sites for courses throughout UVA.

Dedicated Portal:

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
