What is Canvas?
Remote learning
In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), RMIT learning and teaching activities have moved online. Lectures will be recorded and available on Canvas and tutorials will be delivered through Canvas' webinar tools Collaborate Ultra or Microsoft Teams.
To access Canvas and participate in your classes, you will need the following:
- A computer or other suitable device
- Internet access via a supported browser
- Headphones/earbuds with microphone
If there are other specific requirements for your course, your Course Coordinator will let you know.
