Demo Courses and “Welcome to Canvas”

A Demo course serves as a “sandbox,” a place where you can give Canvas a try and experiment with features of the LMS. When you request a Demo course, you will receive access to the “Welcome to Canvas” course in the Canvas LMS. This course is an online repository of videos and learning resources that will introduce you to Canvas. The course covers topics such as how to organize course content using modules, using pages to store content, how to upload files, and how to customize your course home page.

Classroom Tools Within Canvas

For much of the academic year scheduled classes meet as expected, without incident. However, there may be instances when the “norm” is disrupted due to factors outside of our control like severe storms, health risks, or other emergencies. To ensure instruction can move forward, WashU has several tools available within Canvas at your disposal. Leveraging these tools, such as those listed below, will help you continue teaching throughout the disruption.
