Getting Started with Canvas: Spring 2026 🗓

Canvas LMS is a learning management system that can be used to share class materials, assignment details, and syllabi with students, act as an asynchronous workspace for assignment submissions and online discussions, and much more.

If you’re new to Canvas, start with the resource hub we’ve created here on the CTL website. You’ll find tutorial videos, PDF guides, and course walkthroughs to get you oriented with the platform. 

For more information, join the online Getting Started with Canvas LMS workshop before the Fall semester begins: Friday January 23, 10:00-11:00am. Join us on zoom – RSVP.

If you have questions about Canvas once you’ve started your semester, you can:
