Tools Within the LMS

I used Canvas previously and it consist of the following tools:

Modules- includes the layout or sequencing of course.
Assignments - sort of like checklist of class assignments
Discussions - the collaboration aspect of the course
Syllabus - direct link to the syllabus
Quizzes - depending on the type of course this can be essential because it allows for immediate feedback
Grades - ability for students to track grades as well as measure progress in course.
Announcements -- area to make announcements as well set reminders for assignments
Files - where you can upload information and files for the course.
Outcomes - area for learning outcomes and objectives.
Collaborations - students are able to work together using websites like Google+ and Hangout

Learning is a Continual Process
