What is Canvas? What can I do with it?

Instructors may create and share course content using Assignments, Discussions, Modules, Quizzes, and Pages. They may also choose to foster a collaborative learning experience using Collaborations, Conferences, and Groups. Depending on course settings, students can access these areas in Canvas to find learning materials and interact with other course users.

Instructors can provide students with comprehensive feedback on assignment and quiz submissions using SpeedGrader and manage grade reporting in the Canvas Gradebook. They can also communicate course news and updates with students using Announcements as well as the Calendar and Syllabus.

Instructors can gain greater insight into student success and make informed instructional decisions using data provided in Canvas Analytics.

Additionally, while Canvas is primarily a web-based software, any user can access Canvas on a mobile device from the Canvas Teacher and Canvas Student apps. Learn more about the Canvas mobile apps.
