MIT's Canvas includes several integrated services you can access using [MIT Touchstone Authentication] or your Infinite Connection Account including:
- Zoom - hold virtual classes or chat
- Piazza - an online gathering place where students can ask, answer, and explore 24/7, under the guidance of instructors
- Gradescope - administer and grade all of your assignments and exams, online or in-class
How to Login
