The Student Technology Website is THE place to go for information about technologies available to students.
VCU Academic Technologies participates in Weeks of Welcome each year to provide current information and resources for technologies that are available to students, how to find them, and where to go for help. Included are software applications, learning environments, and support for both online and face-to-face classes.
Always start with the Student Technology Website for your needs. Below are a few links to specific pages to get you started.
If you missed the live, virtual overview of Canvas during Weeks of Welcome, or if you attended but need a refresher, a recording of each session is available via the following links.
For more Canvas resources to help you get started, visit Canvas for Students. Be sure to visit the student technology website anytime, for technology resources and support.
Have a great semester!
