How to use Canvas
We are excited to share that Canvas officially replaces Blackboard as our learning management system this fall. The Canvas learning platform offers a mobile-friendly, accessible interface to support teaching and learning. Faculty, students, and staff may use Canvas to share information and course materials, engage in critical thinking activities, and collaborate online. Learn how to use Canvas, then access the platform with your assigned username and your selected password.
