Canvas Sandbox Courses for Faculty

ITS has created sandboxes for instructors to familiarize themselves with Canvas while you build and store your content until your official course is ready. You can access your sandbox by logging into eLearn.ucr.edu. Once you have logged in, you will see your courses, including your sandbox, on your Dashboard-Canvas’s default landing page. If you do not see your sandbox, please submit a helpdesk ticket and we will set one up for you.

Canvas Status

You can check the Status of Canvas at any time to see if there are any reported issues.
