The Canvas learning platform at the Department of Psychology
During 2019-2020, Lund University will start using the Canvas learning platform. Canvas is a modern and user-friendly platform that gives students, doctoral students, teaching staff and administrators the opportunity to build an attractive and accessible digital learning environment at Lund University. Canvas is used today by more than 3,000 universities and institutions around the world. At the Department of Psychology, Canvas will replace Luvit.
During the autumn, a number of courses at the department have started using Canvas, and by spring most others. In the autumn of 2020, the last courses will be transferred to Canvas. After that, Luvit will be no longer used.
Canvas Online Education
In Canvas you can record your lectures and reach out to the students, which is relevant when the classroom teaching is canceled due to the corona virus.
Take a course in Canvas
You as a teacher should enrol in the basic course in Canvas, called Level 1: Get started with Canvas.
It is a 90-minute course that is available via your computer, online in Zoom. It is available in English upon request. The course runs every Wednesday 13.15-14-45.
You sign up by emailing canvas [at] education [dot] lu [dot] se
Get started with Canvas
Once you have completed the course you will be able to build up an educational structure within Canvas. At the start of the semester, the students have access to the course material in Canvas.
