Getting Help with Canvas


LSIT is happy to assist with Canvas questions and offer Zoom consultations to discuss your Canvas course. For questions or to schedule a consult, please email help@collaborate.ucsb.edu with a proposed time if asking for a consult (M - F, 10am - 4pm) and quick summary of what you would like to accomplish.

Canvas also provides 24/7 instructor support and can be reached via:

Canvas Exploration Sites (“Sandboxes”)


Instructors who have taught in the last year already have Canvas site for exploration and experiment that is not tied to a particular course. (This is known as a “sandbox.”)  To access your sandbox, log in to https://www.canvas.ucsb.edu/. If you do not have a sandbox and would like one please email help@collaborate.ucsb.edu
