What Is Canvas And How Can It Be Used To Support Learning?
Canvas provides a platform for teachers to create virtual classrooms, supporting both real-time (synchronous) and self-paced (asynchronous) learning. Canvas is a powerful tool for blended and distance learning.

Creating A Pairing Code For Parent Access To Student Courses
- As a student you can provide parents or guardians with a Pairing Code to observe your courses. Pairing codes can only be generated using the web version of Canvas, not the mobile app.
- Generate a parent/observer code by logging into Canvas
- In Global Navigation, select the Account link then select the Settings link
- Select the Pair with Observer link on the right side of the window.
- A new window will open. Copy Pairing Code.
- Copy the six-digit alphanumeric pairing code. You will need to share the code with the observer who will link to your account. The pairing code will expire after seven days or its first use.
- To close the window, select the OK link.
- Note: Pairing codes are case sensitive.
