Canvas @ UMW

Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) created by Instructure, a company based in Utah.  After a thorough review, UMW personnel made the decision to adopt Canvas as UMW’s LMS.

A handful of courses were run as a pilot in the Summer of 2011; Canvas became the system for hosting online learning activities and course content in the Fall of 2011.  Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 courses were migrated from Blackboard to Canvas.

This website is devoted to keeping you informed about how to use Canvas. Here you will also find resources to help you learn about and use Canvas.
