Title: Introduction to Canvas
Course: Open EIC225 Programmable Controllers

Canvas is the Learning Management System used by Colorado Mountain College.  Because you will be using this system as a major part of your hybrid course, you will need to familiarize yourself with how it works before your class begins.

Navigation: There are several ways to get around in a course in Canvas.  On the left hand side of the screen you will see a course navigation menu.  This gives you more than one way to access course content and assignments.  Be sure to read it carefully, noting due dates and expectations. You can get to  assignments from the Modules link and from the Assignments link.

Module link: Course content such as learning activities, assignments, discussions, quizzes are available from the Module link.

Your Canvas Account: There is a second navigation menu in the upper right hand corner of the screen.  There you should see your name, Inbox, Profile, Logout, and Help.  The Inbox is for email internal to Canvas (it can be forwarded to an external email address so you don't accidentally miss anything).  Your profile is an important part of Canvas.  The third page in this orientation will help you set that up.

Clicking the "Next" button at the bottom of this page will take you to the Canvas Student Guide.  This is an excellent resource for help with any and all aspects of Canvas. You can also visit www.coloradomtn.edu/canvas for Student FAQs!
