What to know about Canvas
The move to Canvas is part of the LX Transformation at UTS. This program will enhance students’ learning experience, move to a single learning management system and follow a course-led approach. Postgraduate Subjects are expected to be taught in Canvas in 2020. Undergraduate courses will follow suit in 2021 and into 2022. Read more about the LX Transformation.
Note: only a selection of UTS subjects are being taught in Canvas in 2019, mostly Postgraduate.Futures subjects.

2. Canvas advice from the Education Portfolio Team
You can also access online or in person support for Canvas from the Education Portfolio team.
