Canvas VLE

VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Canvas is the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) at Queen’s which is used to support teaching and learning across the University.  As a digital learner, Canvas is largely at the centre of all of your learning.  Face-to-face teaching is complemented by online delivery where appropriate.  Student-teacher interaction is a key part of our learning model. Queen’s offers an authentic university experience through Connected Learning, which means that you will receive a blend of face-to-face teaching and virtual learning. Where it is not possible or optimal to deliver face-to-face teaching, Canvas will provide a full, interactive learning platform. Watch the Canvas for Students Intro video [05:56] on the right.
