Accessible and inclusive Canvas courses

The University aims to ensure that Canvas online resources are easily accessible to as many people as possible.

Canvas is the virtual learning environment (VLE) which is used to support teaching and learning at Oxford and it is maintained by the Centre for Teaching and Learning.

It is used for accessing course information, learning content and resources, submitting formative assignments, and working collaboratively with other students.

It also provides access to embedded services, including ORLO (Oxford Reading Lists Online) and Panopto, which is the University’s lecture capture service.
