Canvas is an open-source learning management system (LMS) for K–12 and higher-education used by learning institutions around the world. This course provides the skills and knowledge instructors need to build a course, add students, and facilitate online learning and digital literacy through Canvas. Author Oliver Schinkten shows how to build a teacher profile, create a class, add assignments and quizzes, and use SpeedGrader to streamline the grading process. He also explores how to reinforce collaboration with online discussions, enlist co-teachers, and access your class on the go with the Canvas and SpeedGrader apps for iOS.
