Technology and Learning Management System

We utilize multiple technologies for your class success. The W uses Canvas for all of its online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses. Faculty and students should access Canvas via the single sign-on campus portal, accessible from the link at the top of most pages of the university’s website. Please use these guides to get started using Canvas and contact the Kossen Center for Teaching & Learning with any questions.
