Tufts uses Canvas as its learning management system, a collaborative “course website” for you and your students. We highly encourage instructors to familiarize themselves with Canvas and to use their course website for most of their class needs; it is by far the most accessible and streamlined way for students to engage with course materials.
Canvas allows you to post course syllabi, materials, and assignments. It also has the capacity for videos/films, virtual discussion boards, scheduling Zoom meetings/office hours, and securely reviewing and grading assignments.
Please take the time to read the Canvas User Guide and Frequently Asked Questions in advance of the semester. If you have questions not addressed in the User Guide, or if you need individualized support, contact canvas@tufts.edu.
