Welcome! This orientation will prepare you to use the most common features in Canvas. It includes short video demonstrations and links to tutorials. Plan to spend about an hour viewing the videos and exploring the links. If you need to take a break, you can always return later to finish up or view tutorials again.

Which browser should I use?

Canvas supports the last two versions of every browser release. We highly recommend updating to the newest version of whatever browser you are using as well as the most up-to-date Flash plug-in. Some browsers have trouble displaying content that is not secure.  If you see blank screens where you expect to see content, please read the Browser Privacy Settings section in the Browser Requirements page below.
