What is Canvas Beta?

Our Beta install of Canvas is a mirror image of the regular Canvas you use that gets reset every week. You can access our Beta Canvas at https://lrccd.beta.instructure.com. Note, if you ever want to quickly switch to it, just add the ".beta" after "lrccd" in the URL.

You sign into it just like regular Canvas.

Why would I use it?

Checking on dropped student progress.
- You can re-add dropped students in Canvas and see, somewhat delayed, work or access dates
- Beta Canvas does not send notifications so student's won't see the message they have been added
Play!
- You can test out crazy new ideas or turn on features that may very well break your course without worry of affecting your live course or shell that you reuse each semester.
Preview potential new Canvas features before they're available in production.
