Teach with Canvas LMS
Instructors use Canvas to publish modules, collect submissions, grade faster with SpeedGrader, and keep communication inside the course.
Course launch essentials
- Build Modules before publishing the course home page.
- Set due dates and availability windows on Assignments.
- Post a welcome Announcement so students know where to start.
- Configure the Gradebook weighting and late policies early.
SpeedGrader in practice
Open an assignment → SpeedGrader to leave inline comments, use rubrics, and record audio/video feedback without downloading every file.
