Canvas is the UNT Dallas learning management system students use to access their courses online.
Instructors use Canvas to deliver course work, including lessons, reading materials or videos to students in online and hybrid courses. Canvas also contains a calendar allowing students to keep up with due dates posted by instructors.
Traidional face-to-face instructors can also use Cavnas in the same way online and hybrid courses do to facilitate student learning by posting instructional materials and allowing for digital submissions of student assignments and assessments.
