Technologies for working remotely
Canvas
Canvas is 快播成人's official learning management system (LMS). Using it gives 快播成人s a uniform method of navigating their courses. For 快播成人s just gaining tech literacy, it can be daunting to have courses in various platforms. Rather than learning to use another LMS (Google Classroom, for example), 快播成人s can focus on mastering course content. Review Passport to Canvas for lots of tutorials and tips. Questions? Contact canvashelp@hcc.edu.
