Canvas
Canvas is a modern, intuitive LMS that will replace Blackboard across campus in Fall 2026. These tutorials will help you explore at your own pace, introducing the various tools, resources, and features that Canvas has to offer. Additional tutorials will be added regularly to support your continued learning and preparation for the upcoming transition. Live workshops will periodically be offered as well, and they, as well as workshops on other topics, can be found in our Events Portal linked below.
