Funding for Canvas is provided for all K-12 districts and Charter Schools throughout Utah for the 2018 -2019 School Year.
Utah educators, students and parents are gaining access to course materials and grades from any internet connection this Fall.
“Thanks to an ongoing appropriation from the Utah State Legislature, students and teachers across the state will continue to have Canvas in the classroom,” said Executive Director Ray Timothy of the Utah Education and Telehealth Network. “Having an easy to use, intuitive learning management system further facilitates the state’s Digital Teaching and Learning Initiative and ensures that no matter where you are in the state, you have access to educational tools and a great teaching and learning environment,” explained Dr. Timothy.
The licensing agreement began in the fall of 2017, and the legislature has continued appropriating money for the program through the 2018-2019 school year. Most of Utah’s public school districts have signed on to use the Canvas learning management system software provided to Utah public and charter schools.
Thirty-eight of Utah’s 41 districts have adopted the platform.
Canvas allows teachers to upload course materials, assignments, quizzes, and videos so that their students can access them from the internet. The software is also capable of hosting classroom discussions, message boards, and audio and video chats.

The Utah Education and Telehealth Network (UETN) provides broadband internet access to most of Utah’s schools, colleges, and universities, and coordinates group licenses for a wide range of educational software, which it makes available to students, teachers, schools, and school districts. UETN is also the statewide host for Utah’s Online Library, which is available free to all Utah schools and students.
