CSUF Canvas is a course management system that supports student eLearning and teaching. It allows educators to publish course syllabus, take attendance, grades, assignments, initiate discussion, or direct communication.
The CSUF Canvas Instructure lets students submit their course assignments and interact with fellow students and their educators online. While CSUF educators post information on the Canvas portal, students login to check and complete their assignments, view course materials and monitor their grades.
It also facilitates message connection between students and educators and contains course and institutional syllabus information for all students to access. Students utilize the CSUF Canvas for a variety of online learning and collaboration with their fellow students and academic staff.
