Helpful resources for students on how to log into courses. On the road to adopting Canvas, students can find their courses in a few places including Canvas, Blackboard, and Google Classroom.
UAF has always allowed faculty to make decisions about technology based on their students’ needs. These days, you’re likely to see a few possible learning management systems at UAF including things like WordPress, audio-only, and synchronous Zoom classes with little reliance on an LMS at all.
Canvas has a friendly user interface and the mobile app will allow students to access course content no matter where they are.
UAF is currently adopting Canvas but many instructors will still be using Blackboard for their courses this semester.
Google Classroom is sometimes used in writing-intensive classrooms due to the ease of feedback and its reliance on Google Drive, which all UA students have access to.

If you’re not in a hurry, take some time to learn to use Canvas. You’re much more likely to be successful if you know where to find assignments, how to turn things in, or how to interact on discussion boards.
