Uncover the secrets of Canvas LMS.

Technology that enhances the classroom and extends learning beyond the classroom is here to stay. The Canvas Learning Management System unlocks teaching and learning opportunities in both classroom and virtual teaching. Whether you are a new user or seasoned educator, this book provides step-by-step guidance on making Canvas LMS a go-to learning tool. Discover best practices in design, collaboration, and communication. Create your first classroom or integrate new ideas into your pre-existing curriculum. Make your life—and the lives of your students—easier.

Canvas LMS — or Learning Management System — is a web-based course management platform that supports online learning and teaching. Used by educators, administrators, and students across the globe, it is an accessible and intuitive ecosystem that supports student learning and communication whether used in a fully remote-teaching model, a hybrid model, or alongside in-person teaching. We’ve heard from many educators and school administrators begging for material that helps Canvas LMS users get “up and running” with the platform quickly, and although we always recommend checking out the Canvas Community website, or even investing in professional development and training from the Center for Leadership and Learning at Instructure, we still hear people say, “I wish there was a Canvas LMS For Dummies.” So to that end, we’ve written that book! And you are here because you already know and love Canvas, you are relatively new to Canvas and want to learn more, or you are brand new to Canvas and looking for an efficient way to get started quickly. This book bottles every ounce of what you hope to accomplish and gives it to you in a nice Panda package.

This book gives you the basics to get up and running with Canvas LMS. You take a spin through the major aspects of the platform, all while we provide you with best practices, thought leadership, and concrete use cases. We both have many years of experience using Canvas as students, as teachers, and as Canvas LMS administrators. We believe we can provide a learning experience in this book that is unmatched by any other platform. We also love that we have been able to write a book that — we feel — balances learning and “click-by-click” instruction with a bit of fun, while also being easy to read. We hope that Canvas LMS For Dummies becomes a regularly revisited resource for you in your ongoing Canvas journey.
