Canvas

Canvas is UMW’s online Learning Management System.  It provides various tools to help faculty communicate with the class, deliver content, as well as assess and grade student work.  Every course at UMW has a Canvas course shell already created and available for use.

The Provost has set minimum expectations for faculty use of Canvas in their courses. This includes providing the syllabus, course schedule, contact and office hours information, processes of assessment and feedback, and links to other platforms you may be using outside of Canvas. This guide provides some advice on how to achieve this.

You can find all the Canvas guides here.
