New to Canvas and need to know how to open up a lecture on a Mac...

Hello @CarolFaul and welcome to the Instructure Community! My guess is that your professor has uploaded a file in a format like PowerPoint, which you can open using Keynote on a Mac. Another option you have is to upload the file to Google Drive, which can open files in a variety of formats.

If I set…

For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies.
