Canvas LMS
Bartlett City Schools has adopted Canvas as our official Learning Management System, LMS. Canvas is used at K-12 and higher education institutions around the world. It allows teachers to provide a personalized learning experience through instructional support, class calendars, messages, notifications, assignments, collaborative activities, and course resources in one easy-to-use, easy-to-access platform. Beginning with the 2020-21 school year, Canvas will be implemented at all grade levels.
Canvas Overview
Designed specifically for education, Canvas is an easy-to-use, cloud-based LMS that connects all the digital tools and resources teachers and students use daily in one location.
- Teachers can post all their course content in one place. Calendar for due dates, links to class resources (course notes & videos), homework assignments, discussion boards, etc.
- Students can see all their assignments, due dates, and class materials in one place. They can submit assignments and see teacher feedback.
- Canvas syncs with Microsoft 365, Edulastic, Turnitin, OneNote, and a host of other education resources for teachers & students.
- Parents can "observe" their student's progress and communicate with their teachers in both a web browser and the Canvas mobile app. (See Parent Resources for instructions to set up a Parent/Observer account.)
Students and parents should continue to use PowerSchool to monitor grades. Grades in Canvas may not reflect the final grade for a course.
