LEARN HOW FAMILIES CAN ACCESS CANVAS

What is Canvas?

Canvas is a web-based learning management system, or LMS. It is used to manage online course learning materials and communicate about skill development and learning achievement. Watch the webinars below from the summer training and/or use the resources below to learn more about using Canvas!

The Canvas icon for logging in can also be accessed through Google Apps Launcher(Waffle). If the waffle apps are unavailable, as they sometimes are, you can access Canvas and other district provisioned apps via the Google Dashboard. It's a good idea to bookmark this link in your Chrome browser: https://gsuite.google.com/dashboard

Cross-listing Courses

Cross-listing allows you to move section enrollments from individual courses and combine them into one course. This feature is helpful for instructors who teach several sections of the same course or elementary specials teachers with many sections and courses, and only want to manage course data in one location.

Please use the slide deck to understand the Pros and Cons of cross-listing, as well as the steps to do it.
