Canvas

Canvas

Canvas is an online Learning Management System (LMS) where teachers build courses for each subject. Learning materials are supplied in an engaging paper-free format full of rich media like videos and quizzes. It is also a platform where assignments and homework can be submitted.

Canvas has separate interfaces for teachers, students and parents to view content specific to your needs.
