Just like packing a backpack for the first day of school—with pencils, notebooks, campus maps, and schedules—online learners also need the right tools to succeed. While online classes offer a different experience from traditional classrooms, preparation is just as important.
The Virtual Backpack is a free, self-paced orientation course designed to help you get started with confidence in Canvas, our learning management system. Available on demand, the orientation offers a clear introduction to online learning and guides students through everything you need to begin your journey.
Open to all current and prospective students, the Virtual Backpack covers how to log in to Canvas, navigate your courses, personalize your account settings, submit assignments and exams, and much more.
