What is Canvas E- learning?
According to an article I have read, canvas is an online learning management system, or
LMS. Learning institutions, educators, and students utilize it to access and administer the online
course materials and to interact with one another regarding skill improvement and academic
success. Tools for managing and creating courses that can be customized are available in Canvas,
along with data about users, courses, and other users. Users may receive a Canvas account from
their institutions, or they can create their own account to access the free version.
Why is it important?
Canvas E- Learning is important nowadays because it helps improve teachers’ ability to
teach and the students' learning experience while saving time and effort and allowing you to
concentrate more on other important tasks. Because the Gradebook on Canvas is always
accessible, students always know where they stand in your course. Students are less likely to
miss assignments when Canvas Assignments employ due date settings to send reminders. All
relevant materials may be gathered and stored in your Canvas course in a single, safe location
that is simple for your students to access and self-serve, reducing the need for pointless
correspondence. Uploading files reduces or eliminates the need for pointless administrative
activities when creating handouts. Students can use them from anywhere, 24/7.
When can you use canvas?
Teachers, students, facilitators and others can use the canvas e-learning anytime they
want to.
Where can you use canvas?
You can use canvas for students learning and for teachers teaching. Since canvas e-
learning is an online learning platform therefore teachers, students, facilitators and other users
can use the canvas e-learning anywhere they want to.
How to use canvas E-learning?
As I have watched in some videos, this is how you are going to use Canvas, when you log
in to Canvas, the first thing you see is the Dashboard, which provides a high-level overview of
your current courses. The Dashboard can be displayed in three different viewing options.
Recent Activity View displays a stream of recent notifications from all your courses,
including announcements, conversations, assignments, discussions, and peer reviews.
You can also access the course grades page from the Course Card and Recent Activity
Views by clicking the View Grades button. The Grades page displays grades for all of your
courses. To view grade details for a specific course, click the name of the course.
To view a course, click the Courses link in Global Navigation and click the name of the
course you want to view.
If your course includes student groups, you can view a list of your groups in Course
Groups. Click the group name to view the group homepage. View recent assignment feedback in
Recent Feedback. Click the assignment name to view feedback in the Submission Details page.
Click the Account link to log out of Canvas, specify your notification preferences, upload
and view personal files, modify your user settings, manage ePortfolios, obtain a QR code to log
in to the Student app, view global announcements, and enable a high-contrast user interface.
Click the Dashboard link to return to the Canvas Dashboard. Click the Courses link to
quickly access your favorite courses and view a list of all your courses. Click the Groups link to
access groups in which you are enrolled or view a list of all your groups.
Click the Calendar link to view your personal calendar and course calendars. Click the
Inbox link to view and send messages to your instructors and peers within Canvas. Click the
History link to view a list of course content and content areas you have viewed within the last
three weeks.
And click the help link to access help resources for your institution.
