Getting Help With Canvas: Overview and Objectives

There are probably three different types of help you might want with Canvas:

  • Creating pedagogically effective online and hybrid courses, or using Canvas effectively to supplement a face-to-face course
  • Making Canvas support a particular pedagogical technique
  • Solving an error or other misbehavior by Canvas
