Canvas is a Learning Management System (LMS) designed to help faculty share course content, administer and grade assignments, and manage asynchronous interactions such as online discussions. A course site is provided for every course at BC, and students and instructors are automatically enrolled.
Canvas provides:
- A space for faculty to organize course content and structure student interaction in a way that suits your learning goals and teaching practice.
- It makes course structure visible to students, reducing cognitive load and helping them stay on track.
Get started with the Instructor Quickstart Guide and contact centerforteaching@bc.edu with questions about using Canvas in your teaching.
