How Do I Know if My Class Uses Canvas?
When viewing the
class schedule
, look for the Instruction Mode column, which now includes new, more precise names
for each type of class mode.
The way a class is conducted is called its course mode. This determines how students
interact with instructors and engage with content during the learning experience.
Different course modes offer varied ways of participating in the class.
Course Mode Definitions
Online Course Materials
If a course has online materials, they are probably in Canvas. Some instructors, however,
host their online materials elsewhere. If you did not see your course in Canvas, the
best thing to do is to check with your instructor.  Most courses will not be available
until the first day of the quarter.
Canvas Dashboard
Your Canvas dashboard gives you an overview of what you have going on in Canvas. The
Dashboard List View displays your active courses in the center of the page and to
the right all of your course To Do items by date due. The To Do list can help you
manage tasks across all of your courses.
Technology Requirements
Canvas can be used on most computers, tablets, and phones.
