Get to know Canvas eLearning System

UWF's online courses are made available through the Canvas eLearning Management System. This is where instructors post course materials, such as syllabi, learning materials (documents, videos, etc.), discussions, calendar, inbox and notifications, announcements, grades, quizzes, and assignments. 

Getting Started with Canvas

Watch the Canvas Overview video for an introduction to the Canvas Dashboard, Global Navigation links, course navigation, and accessing assignments.

Login to Canvas

You can access Canvas in two ways:

1. Login to MyUWF and search for "Canvas"
2. Download the Canvas Mobile App

Best Practices for Canvas

• Check your Canvas notification preferences before classes start to ensure you receive instructor announcements
• Log into Canvas at least every two days after classes start.

Where are my Courses?

Courses will appear on your Canvas Dashboard on the first day of class.  Prior to this time, your course not be available, unless the instructor opens the class early.

Once your course(s) appear, click on it to access it. You will notice a toolbar on the left with navigation options on the landing page. You should see a “Begin Here” option, but can always select “Modules” and access the course material that way.
