Canvas offers incredible flexibility, but for busy K–12 educators, knowing which tools are worth using—and how to use them well—can be overwhelming. BUILD Academic helps cut through the noise by identifying high-value Canvas features and trusted external tools, then translating them into simple, classroom-ready steps. We make it easier for educators to use what’s already available to them, without adding more complexity or time demands.

College students live in their digital environments, and faculty want to make the most of Canvas to communicate clearly, provide meaningful feedback, and keep students engaged beyond the classroom. We focus on approaches that are easy to adopt, pedagogically sound, and aligned with how students actually engage with technology—so faculty can spend less time configuring tools and more time teaching.

The Canvas related workload for administrators can be daunting, and is often under-staffed. BUILD Academic acts as a right-hand partner to academic and instructional leaders, helping translate platform capability into consistent practice. We support adoption, surface usage insights, and provide practical guidance so institutions can maximize their Canvas investment with clarity, confidence, and fewer demands on internal resources.
