do I have to use this platform

[lacie92]

whats the point in the plateform

Hello lacie92,

It's fine if you don't want to use Canvas. However, posting unneccesary content or posts is not. It fills the platform with irrelevant content, stopping others from finding what they did. If you don't want to use Canvas, simply log out, and if you don't want to come back, delete your account, rather than posting your desire to leave on the platform.

Sincerely,

Callie.

I wasn't being rude, and it wasn't unnecessary content. I have never used this platform its new to me so i asked.

Well, instead of posting that, you could browse the Instructure Community to find answers to your questions on the platform.

Howdy @lacie92,

Great question. If your institution uses Canvas for your classes, you may need to use Canvas to participate in class activities.

However, right now we're communicating in the Instructure Community - to ask questions about Canvas (or other) functionality. You are not required to use community.canvaslms.com but sometimes it can provide great value when you need to know how to do something in Canvas, esp. the Canvas Guides.
