Canvas Learning Guides

Canvas is St. Thomas University’s new Learning Management System, replacing it’s little sister, Ember. Features in the more robust Canvas will seem very similar to those familiar with Ember, aiding in a fluid transition. More information on the Canvas Transition can be found here. The links below can be used as a learning guide to better acquaint both our students and instructors with Canvas.  If you need additional help, call OIT at 305-628-6610, or email us at helpdesk@stu.edu.
