Canvas, much like Moodle, is a Learning Management System (LMS) where instructors can host content, activities, resources, etc. As we transition from Moodle, this section will walk you through the essentials, from publishing content to using SpeedGrader. Browse the how-to guides for step-by-step help with common tasks.
Instructure (the company behind Canvas) has a lot of great information that you can explore to better understand the features in your courses:
- Guides – under each of these categories are pages with videos and step-by-step directions for almost anything you need to do in Canvas!
- Resources – a general starting point to see what is available.
- Canvas Community – see what other Canvas users are saying or asking.
A Moodle Migration Guide (pdf) from Canvas that lists Canvas features that are similar to those in Moodle – a great starting point for Canvas terminology!
Canvas Cheats – This is a listing of all the major communications that were shared with the original Canvas Crew members. Good Grief…
A popular resource for several early users has been the Angie Teaches Canvas YouTube channel.
