Canvas
You will most likely use Canvas regularly—it’s the central course space where students will go to check on the syllabus and find course materials, and it can also serve as a hub for announcements and course discussions. Access your Canvas course sites at canvas.stanford.edu.
For help with Canvas, visit gocanvas.stanford.edu, email canvashelp@stanford.edu, or get in touch with the Academic Technology Specialist Beth Seltzer.
