Canvas (hosted by Instructure) is the official learning management system of Caltech. Canvas simplifies course management tasks: publishing course materials, grading, communicating with students, and more. Students can use Canvas to access course content, submit assignments anytime, anywhere and collaborate with peers and instructors. Canvas is FERPA-compliant and is connected to registrar records for course enrollments.
