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, view the full events calendar (sessions are often most available around the beginning of semesters)
Then use your courses migrated from Blackboard or your sandbox course to practice.
