Canvas

ARC has joined 90+ other California Community Colleges in the process of adopting Canvas as our new CMS (Course Management System).

The flexible timeline allows individual instructors to begin using Canvas for students in the Spring 2017 semester and all courses will be offered on Canvas in the Spring 2018 semester. D2L will no longer be available after the Fall 2017 semester ends.

The ITC is prepping for Fall semester workshops and the schedule will be announced in a weekly email and posted on the ITC Canvas page.

You can start playing with Canvas now in your own Canvas sandbox! Request your course by sending an email to Shannon Mendez, Adjunct Distance Ed Coordinator at ARC.
