How to Use Canvas Welcome to Canvas/Requirements

Introduction

Canvas is SUU's online learning management system, or LMS. It allows instructors to post online coursework, including assignments, discussions, and quizzes, as well as providing a place for instructors and students to communicate and collaborate outside of the physical classroom.

System Technical Requirements

For best results, use a high-speed internet connection (4mbps or better). In addition, we recommend using the most recent versions of the Google Chrome web browser. Firefox and Safari also work with Canvas. We do not recommend using the Internet Explorer or Brave web browsers. Be sure to watch for updates and install them regularly.
