Canvas Overview

Watch the video below to learn about Canvas navigation, layout, and terminology.

Every online course will have a lot of information that you need to see, like announcements, readings and other resources in modules. We recommend that you keep your dashboard on Card View so you can access the course and see everything. If you only use “To Do” lists, you will miss a lot of the online class content!

If you are taking a face-to-face, hybrid, or remote class, your instructor may not use all the features of Canvas.

If you have questions about how to use Canvas, contact dl@nwacc.edu

Note: Your teacher may have your class set up a bit differently than in the videos. Contact your instructor if you can't locate something.
