Navigating Canvas

Welcome to Canvas, our new Learning Management System!

What is Canvas?

Canvas is a web-based Learning Management System (LMS) that allows the user to create, deliver, manage online instruction, and assess student learning. Students will engage in courses and receive feedback to increase academic achievement.  

Why Canvas?

Canvas enriches instruction by creating a space for collaboration and communication amongst learners. This increases achievement and engagement beyond the four walls and set time of a classroom. Having one LMS increases ease of use by providing a consistent hub for teaching and learning, organization, and communication for all stakeholders. It also prepares students for college and career readiness.
