Welcome Maryland University of Integrative Health Students!

MUIH took a step to enhance and improve our complete online learning experience for students and faculty. As of fall of 2015 Canvas became our new Learning Management System (LMS).

What is Canvas?

Canvas is a technologically advanced, cloud-based, mobile friendly LMS. It seamlessly integrates hundreds of digital learning tools into a highly intuitive and easy-to-use learning system. We will use it for teaching, learning, collaborating, and evaluating academic performance and will be able to incorporate many features including social media, e-portfolios, and web conferencing.

Why did MUIH choose Canvas?

Since its introduction in Fall 2013, MUIH has seen significant enrollment growth in online programs and courses. As our reputation for providing cutting edge academic programming in integrative health continues to grow, we wanted an LMS that could grow with us, creatively allowing us to design highly interactive online courses with scholarship and academic rigor. In adopting Canvas, we join 1200 other schools including Harvard, Columbia, University of Maryland as well as local community colleges. More than 16 million people are currently using this progressive LMS worldwide.

The materials within this orientation will provide a foundation of familiarity with Canvas. Exploring the content of this site is highly recommended prior to the opening of courses so you will be ready to fully engage in your educational experience from day one.
