Man: LMS, it's short for learning management system, which is an official way of saying technology that unifies all your teaching tools in one easy place. Think about a classroom. Most have some basic things in common, chairs, desks, probably a chalkboard, maybe a television, but what happens in each classroom is unique, personalized, and customized by the teacher. Maybe there's a life-sized skeleton or a vinegar volcano, an inspirational quote, or Sasquatch.

Man: It's the experience that sets each classroom apart. That's why the goal of Canvas LMS, the technology that helps take the classroom experience into the twenty-first century, is to just make it simple, to put our arms around whatever it is you do, whatever it is that makes that classroom special.
