Welcome to Canvas Preview
This Canvas Preview page serves as an accompaniment to your early access to SF State Canvas and is here to support you as your test drive this new platform, begin training, and ultimately prepare for teaching with Canvas in Fall 2022. After signing up you will be provided with a blank sandbox course that you can use to kick the tires and take a test drive along with a self-paced training course within Canvas itself to help you get started. Remember, this is an early preview, so there may be a few bumps and rough edges as you explore the new environment.
Note: Canvas Preview for Fall 2022 has closed. To learn more about teaching in Canvas, visit the Training page.
