New Students
All students have received a link as part of their pre-induction. Please take time to discover the Introduction to Canvas which tells you everything you need to know about using Canvas in your classes, including how to:
- Keep track of work you are assigned by your lecturer, grades, and feedback.
- Organise the learning material your lecturer has created.
- Help you stay in touch with other members of your class.
If you are not yet enrolled on a course you can still get a preview of Canvas in action.
New students will get an introduction to Canvas as part of your induction. Your lecturers will check you can access Canvas, check you can see your courses, explain how they will use it, and show you how to install the Canvas app on your mobile device. We know you will enjoy the Canvas experience.
