How Do I Start Learning Canvas?
We recommend you start with the Growing with Canvas course in Canvas. Choose the self-paced modules or watch recorded Canvas Boot Camp webinars in the course.
If you prefer a live session, sign up for:
- Getting Start with Canvas (bi-weekly intro session)
- Canvas Day on October 16
- Canvas Boot Camp December 3-5
- View the full events calendar
Then use your courses migrated from Blackboard and your sandbox course to practice.
