Welcome to the eLearning Resources Repository!

eLearning is the distance education center for GTCC. We help faculty create quality online learning experiences. The department provides faculty support for issues surrounding instructional technology for online curriculum and continuing education courses, maintains and supports the LMS for all classes, and provides guidance on instructional design to increase course quality.

What is the Canvas LMS?

Canvas is a web-based learning management system, or LMS. It is used by learning institutions, educators, and students to access and manage online course learning materials and to communicate about skill development and learning achievement. Canvas includes a variety of customizable course creation and management tools, course/student analytics, and internal communication tools. At GTCC we use Canvas to manage digital learning. Our main user groups are Faculty & Students.
