Hello Canvas Community,
I was wondering, can we use Canvas other than for school? Or are all the features for school rather than others? Please answer my intriguing question. 🤔❓
Hi @CallieAlreza,
Technically a learning management system (what Canvas is) or LMS is a specific type of content management system (what WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, or other website platforms use behind-the-scenes) or CMS.
This means that in theory, Canvas is a website platform that is meant specifically for educational purposes but can be used for other reasons as well. In its simplest form, in Canvas, you could simply create pages and upload files and never use the other features.
Does that answer your question?

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
