Creating a Canvas Site

Canvas is the learning management system used for course websites at Harvard.

Canvas is a useful platform to share course materials, coordinate sections, promote discussions, collect student work, provide feedback, and communicate with students. It is also highly customizable, and there are many add-on tools that can be incorporated to support your teaching.

• You will need to publish your site in order to share it with students. You can find directions on Canvas Course Websites for Harvard from Academic Technology for the FAS, along with how to contact them for Canvas assistance.
