About Canvas LMS
Canvas is a learning management system from Instructure that schools and universities use for course pages, assignments, quizzes, grades and messaging. Outages can hit the web app, the Canvas Student and Teacher mobile apps, Canvas Studio video or SpeedGrader separately. Login problems often come from your school's single sign-on rather than Canvas itself. Instructure posts incidents, including by cloud region, at status.instructure.com.
