Learning Management Platform
Canvas is an easy to navigate, user-friendly learning management platform that allows institutions to build a digital learning environment that meets their unique needs and challenges. Liberty has selected the Canvas platform because it empowers institutions to impact achievement in real and significant ways through intuitive learning and dynamic and engaging content.
Canvas is also cloud-based, which provides the best environment for long-term growth and stability. Best of all, Canvas is extremely mobile friendly, so your courses will always be available to you, even when you are on the go!
Why the Change to Canvas?
We selected Canvas as our new online “Campus” or Learning Management System because:
- It allows us to highly customize the student experience.
- The cloud-based platform provides the best environment for growth and stability.
- It’s extremely mobile friendly for students and faculty.

- Both residential and online courses are now in Canvas! You can access your courses by navigating to canvas.liberty.edu.
