Canvas

Business owner: Information Technology Services

Canvas is the new Learning Management System (LMS) at ANU from Semester 2, 2025. The platform allows course Convenors to build and maintain a course online and includes several features to facilitate online communication between teachers and students. Canvas uses Learning Tool Integrations (LTIs) to connect to other third-party learning tools and applications that leverage rich-text editing, video content and assessment.
