Category: Canvas

Canvas is an online platform, known as a Learning Management System (LMS), that many schools and colleges use to organize their courses. It serves as a central online classroom where instructors can post announcements, share the syllabus, and upload all course materials like readings and videos. For students, it’s the main place to submit assignments, take quizzes, participate in group discussions, and check their grades and feedback.

Canvas is the Learning Management System used by the College for Creative Studies.
