What is Canvas?

Canvas is the online tool that CPTC uses to support your online, hybrid and web-enhanced courses.Use Canvas to view course content, such as course syllabus and handouts, submit assignments, view grades, or participate in online discussions, and take online exams and quizzes.

Students in an online, hybrid or web-enhanced class should have the basic ability to:

  • access and navigate websites
  • download and upload files
  • send attachments
  • save and upload files in word processing formats (.doc, or .docx) or other course appropriate formats
  • copy and paste text from files on a computer to text boxes within a web browser

Students in an online, hybrid, or enhanced class should have reliable access to:

  • Computer
  • Printer
  • Internet

The Computer Lab in The Learning Resource Center (Building 15) has these resources, to help you complete your coursework.
