WHAT IS CANVAS?

Canvas is a Learning Management System that allows faculty to deliver course material electronically. It offers tools such as discussion boards, e-mail, and chat that allow documents and web pages to be displayed.

Canvas can be used as a supplement to a traditional course, in a hybrid course, or completely online course. For more information about training and its features, contact the Canvas Help Desk at canvas@jsums.edu or 601-979-0245.
