Examples of application:

Through Canvas you can create MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), meaning online courses on all subjects or themes. It can be used in distance learning situations (ie. online learning caused by Covid-19) to make all the class follow the a training module at the same time.

Canvas is well suited for asyncronous learning activities. Students can learn from the E-Learning course by themselves some notions that can be evaluated by teachers in a second moment. This makes possible to have lighter classes focused on few but important topics and leave the students deepen the contents in autonomy. With this respect E-Learning courses offered through Canvas can be used to design Blended Learning modules, in which students prepare themselves on a topic by studing in autonomy and then all the class performs a learning activiti/experience together with the teacher (in presence).

Finally, in case of long term mobility abroad, E-Learning courses provided through Canvas can be used to keep the student updated about theoretical classess done in the home country. This is particularly useful in case of work based learning abroad, because learners spend most of their time practicing in a company and risk to fall behind the rest of a students in their class.
