Canvas Classroom Access

ABOUT THE CLASSROOM

Online courses are conducted via a web-based, course management system called CANVAS. You access your class site using a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 & 9 or Google Chrome for PC's. For Mac users, Mozilla Firefox or Safari will work.

CANVAS supports most of the activities you will need to fulfill course assignments, such as sending e-mail, posting discussion messages, working in groups on projects, etc. You may also have to use production applications that reside on your own computer, such as word processing or presentation programs. Your instructors will notify you of any such requirements when you log into your courses.
