How to use this Canvas course demo

This course demo is designed to give you a basic feel for what it's like to navigate within Canvas, Oregon State University's online learning portal. Canvas course sites are where your Oregon State instructors will post course announcements, assignments, online lectures, videos, quizzes and more.

Learning online is a different experience than learning face to face. At Oregon State Ecampus, we think "different" is a good thing because it helps us think of innovative ways to engage and educate students all around the world.

Click the buttons below or use the navigation menu on the left to see what a typical Canvas course site and its modules looks like. This will help you feel comfortable inside OSU's online classroom.
