Center for Academic Excellence Resources to HELP with Online/Remote Learning

Welcome to the Canvas Student Orientation tutorial. Canvas is the state-of-the-art learning management system you will be using in your courses at Franklin Pierce University. To get started, we’ve provided the short video tutorials and guides below to introduce you to some of the important features you will want to know about. We strongly encourage you to explore these resources before your course begins. Take a look at the "Library Resources" link on the left course navigation bar. You will find this link in each Canvas course and some courses will have specific library resources for that subject. You are also encouraged to visit the Canvas Help system to access many additional support resources, particularly the Student Guide.

You can also call the Canvas hotline at 866-443-0656 if you have any questions or to report a problem. The Canvas help desk is open 24/7.
