Canvas is a learning management system used in grades 3-12. This LMS allows teachers to blend many digital tools into one location, which makes accessing those tools easy for students. The adoption of Canvas in 2016 was a decision made by a volunteer team of teachers and administrators who evaluated several LMS vendors. The decision to use Canvas was unanimous among this evaluation team.
Consistency & Efficiency - As a district, we understand the transition to Canvas will take some time as this implementation requires our teachers to make many adjustments in their teaching routine. We believe that the consistency and efficiency Canvas brings will improve the process in which we teach and communicate with students and parents.
Personalized Learning -Teachers are able to build their course digitally, with several options that allow for more personalized learning for students. Some teachers are creating modules within their courses to be self-paced. We have been working hard district-wide to meet the needs of ALL students in order to achieve success. This is one way that we can offer that support.
Preparation for the Future - Canvas is just one of many learning management systems used world-wide in K-12 and universities. However, Canvas is the LMS currently being used at The Ohio State University, University of Miami, North Central State University and many more. K-12 schools using Canvas in Ohio include Delaware City and Hilliard Schools as well as many others. Introducing our students to this instruction delivery method is not only especially relevant for our high school students who are currently involved with CCP courses, but also for those who will go on to a university in the future.
