Why is UAF using Canvas?

  • Canvas supports the Chancellor's strategic goal to modernize the student experience.
  • Its mobile app makes it possible for students to do the majority of classwork from the palm of their hand.
  • It's more accessible for diverse learners.
  • It has lighter bandwidth requirements, making it more available in rural areas (鈪 less than Blackboard).
  • Many students are already familiar with the Canvas interface. The State of AV狼论坛 Department of Early Education and Development recently selected Canvas as the LMS for AV狼论坛's K-12 schools.
