accelerating the processes of obtaining, distributing
and using new knowledge by society.
Modern information technologies open up new
prospects for improving the efficiency of the
educational process and are distinguished by the
presence of the Internet worldwide, which creates
wide opportunities in education. At the same time, live
communication is inseparable from information
technologies, therefore, at the current stage of
multimedia development, information technologies
are
called
information
and
communication
technologies (ICT).
One of the tools of information and communication
technologies that organizes the interaction between
teachers and students in the learning process, can be
used to create traditional distance learning courses
and support full-time and distance education. is an
educational management system.
Currently, there are many software products in the
global information space, that can be closed source
(Blackboard, Coursera, EdX, Desire2Learn, Udacity),
where universities can access them only after
concluding an appropriate cooperation agreement,
and open source (Canvas Instruction, Udemy, Moodle,
OpenLearning), where teachers of higher education
institutions can host their courses for free.
It is an open-source learning management system for
creating the most convenient distance learning
courses for teachers, and it creates conditions for
ensuring the continuity of the educational process
through the technological integration of classroom
and extracurricular activities. The organization of
access to cloud-based software is becoming a
promising way to use the educational management
system in the context of higher education.
Information on the use of cloud technologies in
educational activities was provided by O. E.
Mamarajabov, A. U. Shukurov, O. Yo. Zokirov, M. M.
Usanov, O. M. Spirin, T. Y. Vdovychyn and other
scientists.
The main part
. The ability to organize the educational
process using the Internet requires teachers to find
new forms, methods and tools that correspond to the
functions of the global network: freedom, publicness,
openness, individuality, collective development of
ideas, content construction, etc. Such tools of the
modern educational process are software for creating
electronic
educational
materials,
educational
management systems, platforms for interactive
interaction of participants of the educational process
(webinars, forums, chats, social networks ). These
tools can be individual software products and a share
implemented in one of them. Their integration is logical
when it takes place around the educational
management system presented on the Internet, where
the participants of the educational process will have
the opportunity to learn "through a single window".
These systems are often used for distance learning or
distance learning support, and their use in higher
education can meet the individual needs, interests, and
goals of students.
Educational technology company Instruture Inc. It was
created in 2008 by Brian Whitmer and Devlin Daley [0],
two graduate students from Brigham Young University
(BYU) in Sandy, USA, who developed new software for
education based on already popular web technologies.
Like Facebook, Twitter, and Google Docs, the learning
management system was originally called Instructure,

but the founders later changed it to Canvas. According
to Devlin Daly, one of the developers: “It's about trying
to keep things as simple as possible. The teacher or
student does not have to be a technologist. They
should focus on what the tool is trying to do, not the
tool itself. Anyone familiar with web applications
knows how to use Instructure (Canvas). Jared Stein,
director of Instructional Design Services at the
University of Utah, experimented with Canvas and
called it "a great new contender in the LMS market."
Built with Canvas, Ruby on Rails, a framework written
in the Ruby programming language, features jQuery,
HTML5, and CSS3 to provide a modern user interface
as the foundation of web applications backed by a
PostgreSQL database. Canvas is a software as a service
(SaaS software as a service) using Amazon web
services in the cloud, a cloud-oriented education
management system, and Instructure specializes in
such a cloud service. is gaining popularity in practice.
It should be noted that the use of the cloud-based
Canvas education management system in the
educational activities of higher educational institutions
has several advantages: powerful computers are not
required; lack of large investments to purchase
licenses and expensive equipment; minimal costs at
the implementation stage; does not require installation
of
additional
programs
on
the
computer;
implementation speed; use the software on legal
grounds; provide data loss protection; a large number
of users work in the system at the same time; the
program is configured for a remote user; the provider
is responsible for the operation of the applications;
configure, update and modernize the software on the
server of the cloud provider without harming the users;
the cloud provider's server is responsible for data
protection and technical support.
The
company's
website
(https://www.instructure.com/) is a software package
for site management or a content management system
(Content Manager System - CMS), which provides tools
for adding, editing, delete data and helping manage
site content without requiring any special knowledge
and skills from the user. Canvas enables organizations
worldwide to design, deliver, and manage online
learning courses, currently serving nearly 2 million
students and faculty and 930 institutions worldwide,
according to CrunchBase [4]. Instructure focuses on
the application of information technology in various
aspects
of
life
and
has
the
motto
"Learning+Technology=Great".
The developers of Canvas focused on supporting
teacher-student interaction and developing the
concept of "lossless learning" by recording and
providing real-time analysis of what is happening in the
classroom.
To use the Canvas learning management system
professionally, the teacher must have a computer
connected to the Internet, a browser, a Canvas
account, and the skills to work with the Internet and
web pages. Canvas offers several Web 2.0 features and
allows the teacher to:
–
request and receive homework electronically, just
add the homework to Canvas and you can see who and
what has been submitted. In addition, through Canvas,
it is possible to direct the checking of students'
homework to graduate students;
- creating various tests (practical test, test with
assessment, survey with assessment, survey without
assessment);

take a test (types of test questions: multiple choice;
yes/no choice; fill-in-the-blank; multiple-blank; multiple-
choice; multiple-choice; matching; numeric response;
formula questions; essay questions; questions by
loading the text (no questions)), for example, after
each lecture, students answer several questions based
on the lecture content or create a learning
achievement test after completing the module. The
system automatically sets grades and scores;
- organization of conferences and discussions where
students can openly discuss course issues within a
group. The teacher may or may not participate in
discussions;
- creating an open or closed course consisting of
modules and assignments. The teacher can open the
course so that the course materials are open to all
Internet users (students' information is closed) or vice
versa - close the course materials so that only individual
students and groups have access to them;
- working with wiki pages;
- the ability to import ready-made courses from other
educational management systems;
- assessment and peer assessment tools;
- analysis of the educational process - for the entire
course, separately for each student;
–
joint editing of documents in Google Docs;
- Integration with other services such as Facebook,
Twitter, Skype, LinkedIn, Diigo, Delicious.
The Canvas education management system provides
subjects of the educational process with the following
tools: educational materials; means of communication
between subjects; accounting and control of student
activities; distributed access to educational materials;
general activity; and feedback.
Based on the above, it can be said that if a teacher of
higher education institutions sets the task of placing
his course in any educational management system for
free without involving programmers, then the cloud
can be recommended. The Canvas education
management system has an open, convenient and
understandable interface, interactive communication
with the teacher is organized using webinars and
Google Docs, it is possible to conduct video lectures,
and create tests, part of the system is Russianized.
With the help of Canvas, you can organize a distance
learning process.
CONCLUSION
Thus, the cloud-oriented Canvas management system
is designed to build an educational process in higher
education, we highlight the main services included in
this system: management of educational institutions;
management of educational content; content delivery;
content navigation management; testing and
evaluating students' educational achievements; taking
into account student activities and results; save the
profile of the subject being studied.
The above services for the implementation of distance
education based on a web application form the SCORM
standard that supports Canvas, so the system provides
the ability to import a course from another learning
management system (Moodle, Udemy, etc.) and
export the course from Canvas to another learning
management system. Many advantages of using
Canvas in the educational process are provided by the
fact that it is a SaaS model, it is advisable to pay

attention to and take into account the following
features when choosing it:
- reliability in operation;
- security;
- compliance (compliance with standards); ease of use
and management;
- modularity;
- access;
- code openness.
In our opinion, due to the tendency to reduce the
education budget, foreign educational institutions and
higher educational institutions of our country can fully
use this education management system.
