With the start of the autumn semester of 2019, SLU is moving completely to a new, integrated learning platform called Canvas. Canvas is a web-based course environment, where every student and teacher can access all the courses they take part in. The modern system of Canvas offers its users with several expedient features:

• Access to all course material: course literature, lecture materials, links and other learning tools.
• Effortless submission of all the required assignments.
• Free communication between teachers and other participants of the course.
• Opportunity to have an open discussion with other participants of the course in case something is unclear or if there is a topic, which, in your opinion, deserves more consideration.
• Assess the work of your peers as well as receive feedback on your assignments.
• Easy-to-use Canvas student app for smartphones!
