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](https://atg.fas.harvard.edu/canvas) from Academic Technology for the FAS, along with how to contact them for Canvas assistance.
