Canvas in Canyons School District

What is Canvas?

Picture
Canvas is a learning management system that allows teachers to set up a course online.  Information about Canvas can be found at the company homepage at http://instructure.com. In Canyons School District, Canvas is used as blended learning tool complimenting in-class instruction.  Teachers are able to give assignments and quizzes, set up discussion boards, and make announcements within their course.  Notifications can be customized for students via Facebook®, Twitter™, and instant messaging - all without knowing the students personal information or forming associations on those sites.  Parents can be enrolled as an observer in the Canvas course to track student performance. The use of modern tools, such as Google Docs, MS Word, and video recording are incorporated into the Canvas system.  Using the SpeedGrader a teacher can provide students with immediate feedback  as they grade assignments, as well as, leave a personal video message.
