Key Features

Communications

All assignments, tasks, activities are integrated into the student calendar, dashboard and to their preferred platforms (email, tablet, phone etc).

Analytics

Instant data, statistics and graphical information on courses, classes and individuals are available from within each course by students and teachers alike.

Learner Ease

To be a successful online learner/teacher should not depend on technical ability, if it takes more than 3 clicks then you are doing something wrong!

Personalised Paths

The ability to access what you need when you need it is critical when learning online. Canvas provides real-time feedback on progress and results in assisting students in achieving their personal best.
