What is Canvas?
Canvas is an innovative learning management system (LMS) that offers a seamless, user-friendly platform for teaching and learning. Built with flexibility and collaboration in mind, Canvas provides faculty with robust tools to design engaging courses, integrate multimedia, and foster meaningful student interactions. Its intuitive user interface makes it easy to manage assignments and assessments, integrate third-party tools, and communicate for in-person, hybrid, or online classes.
For course coordinators and school leadership, its advanced analytics and reporting features provide valuable insights into student performance, course engagement, and overall learning trends, enabling data-driven decisions to enhance educational outcomes.
