Collaboration Platforms

Canvas LMS

Canvas offers a modern feature-set, an easy to navigate design, and flexible integrations with other learning technology such as Zoom, Piazza, and Gradescope.  

IS&T’s Canvas Landing Page has a wealth of information regarding the platform, and Canvas maintains a broader knowledgebase of their product here.

MIT has created several training videos that may be worth watching if you are new to the platform, and those can be found here.

If you are having trouble accessing Canvas, please check the Canvas Status Page and IS&T’s 3Down Status Page to make sure the platform is not down.  If you are still experiencing issues, please contact the IS&T Service Desk 24×7 at 617-253-1101 or via servicedesk@mit.edu
