What is Canvas?

- Canvas is the official, SLCC learning platform.

However, some online courses use a separate learning platform embedded within the Canvas course (MyMathLab, Aleks, MyAccountingLab, MyITLab, etc.) Canvas Support, and your instructor can help you access these additional learning platforms.
