Canvas Training and Resources
All faculty now have access to Canvas! Once you log in to your account with your UMB email credentials, you will find the "Sail with Canvas" introductory course to help you learn the basic functionality, a sandbox/development shell to practice with Canvas, and any courses you are scheduled to teach through WISER. More training resources are listed below.
