Canvas is the Learning Management system for the School of Education and Human Development. We moved to full implementation of Canvas in the Fall of 2018, replacing Collab as the former Learning Management System. Other schools at UVA continue to use the Collab learning Management System. For example, if you are taking a class with the College of Arts and Sciences, you may need to still access Collab.
Access Canvas and get oriented. You will need your Netbadge credentials to log in.
