Digest of Canvas Instructor Guides

A Compendium of Essential Canvas Tutorials

This listing is derived from the Canvas Instructor Guide, a vast collection of—currently over 600—helpful illustrated tutorials created and maintained by Instructure, Canvas’ parent company to help instructors accomplish tasks and teach the tools and features in Canvas.

The links below will lead you directly to their related topic sections within the Guide, presented as answers to user questions. Within each topic section are specific related tutorials. Using this list is easy; for example, to learn how to import content into Canvas, simply click on the link “Course Import Tool” below to find several tutorials related to that tool, including one about how to import content from TITANium (i.e., Moodle). Each of the tutorials has illustrated screenshots and step-by-step instructions regarding that topic.
