Canvas

Canvas is our new Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) at City of Glasgow College. You can follow our Canvas newsletters on the College intranet as well as access the VLE FAQs page. Please note, you will need to sign in using your College logins.

The Canvas platform is widely used and recognised throughout the world. It is used to host learning content, manage assignments, facilitate student interaction, and enable access to many third-party applications. The Learning Technologies team can take you through the basics of setting up courses and enabling student access to multimedia content, interactive activities and assessments. When you have mastered the basics and want to explore more of the opportunities for enhancing teaching and learning, there is more support available.

All staff have access to the Growing With Canvas training course and a sandbox (a personal practice course), to allow you to complete the training tasks and practice using canvas. As you work through Growing with Canvas, your curriculum head will give your access to the courses you will be teaching. The Learning Technologies team will be running webinars on various Canvas topics, you can book a place on MyConnect.
