Canvas is MTU's Learning Management System (LMS). The Department of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) supports a rich digital learning ecosystem in MTU, incorporating Zoom for online delivery, a plagiarism detection system, a digital student attendance tool, an e-portfolio and a myriad of additional tools that support MTU staff and students. Canvas acts as a “hub” for all of these resources - so by logging into Canvas, you can connect to all of them.
