Canvas can be used to achieve a wide variety of educational goals, but for now, let's start with the basics.
The information found in this section should be sufficient for those users who require only basic interactions with Canvas (i.e. lecturers, small group tutors, facilitators, physical diagnosis instructors, etc.)
From here you can find out how to access and log in to Canvas, what the various tabs are for, how to access course content, as well as the various methods you can use to communicate with your students.
