Canvas Resources
The Online@UT (Canvas) Resource Guide from OIT is designed to help faculty and students get up and running with Canvas.
Dan Greene (dgreene@utk.edu) can troubleshoot some Canvas issues if he is added to your course site. Some issues require higher levels of access and must be addressed by OIT.
Submit a Canvas help request to OIT
