Canvas
What is Canvas?
Canvas is an online platform that supports the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) in offering online courses. It includes various features that allow students to collaborate, join discussions, view lessons, submit assignments, take exams, check grades, communicate with instructors and peers, and track their academic progress.
Canvas is a secure, password-protected system where SDCCD can manage digital learning. Teachers can create and share online learning materials, evaluate student performance, and store important documents like course syllabi and other resources. Students can interact with their courses and get feedback on their progress.
In addition to being available on the web, Canvas can also be accessed on mobile devices through the Canvas Student app. Learn more about the Canvas mobile applications.
Who Can use it?
Faculty and students alike both have access to Canvas. Once a faculty member or student has been assigned or enrolled into an online course, their account is automatically generated two weeks before the course start date.
