Introduction
GLOW (Canvas) is Williams’ learning management system, a suite of integrated tools for online learning and interaction. All academic courses (and many other campus programs) have GLOW spaces. A GLOW course can help faculty streamline how they provide course materials, communicate and interact with students, and collect and grade assignments, among many other possibilities. Custom applications can be readily integrated into your GLOW course as well.
Most courses are created automatically in GLOW based on the information in the Registrar’s system, including conferences, lab sections and independent studies. GLOW synchronizes with the Registrar’s system daily to update course enrollments.
