Welcome to North Idaho College's Canvas Essentials for Students

This training will introduce you to the basic features of Canvas — North Idaho College's Learning Management System (LMS).

At NIC, every course is integrated with Canvas, and you may be required to locate course materials, submit assignments, or take tests online — even in a face-to-face class. Look at the NIC Syllabus for your course or ask your instructor if you need to use Canvas in their course.

This course:

is optional, and you can refer to it throughout the semester
is not-for-credit (unless your instructor requires you to complete portions or all of the course)
is self-paced and not graded or timed
has no instructor and therefore no instructor feedback
is available to you as long as you are enrolled at NIC

You can access the course modules and materials at any time by selecting the Modules link in the Course Navigation menu on the left. Begin the course with a Canvas Tour.
