Canvas at UIW
Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) for the University of the Incarnate Word and provides instructors with the means to establish an online presence and distribute learning materials through one convenient platform. By using Canvas, instructors can communicate, create learning modules, distribute course materials, host discussions, grade assignments, provide feedback, and much more.
These resources found on this page support instructors in learning to make the most out of a Canvas course. Students are encouraged to explore our Learning with Canvas resources and get hands-on practice in the Learning with Canvas at UIW student orientation course.
How do Instructors access Canvas?
- Log in to Cardinal Apps with your UIW email and password.
- Open the Canvas LMS app or ABSN Canvas app if teaching in the ABSN program.
Instructors get Canvas course access by being listed as the instructor of record in Banner or by invitation through a colleague.
Students also access Canvas through Cardinal Apps but do not receive Canvas accounts until they're registered for academic courses. Students who open Canvas before their registration is complete will see an error: Failed to Log In Canvas doesn't have an account for the user
For technical support with Cardinal Apps or questions about your UIW email and password, contact the UIW Help Desk.
