Canvas is an online managed-hosted learning management system that can be used to complement both face-to-face and online instruction. The Center for the Advancement of Teaching’s Instructional Technology consultants are available to help you plan and design your Canvas course, add course materials, and work with the management and collaborative tools that Canvas offers. Canvas can be used to:

• provide students online access to a course syllabus, information about a course, course notes, recorded lectures, and other course materials
• assess and track students’ progress with online tests and rubrics, the gradebook and other tools
• collect, manage and evaluate assignments with Turnitin (plagiarism detection)
