Anyone can view and search the Instructure Community. However, in order to participate, you must log in using an account. You can log in using a Canvas account or a Mastery Connect account. Below are two ways you can log into the community using your Canvas account - via web and via mobile.
If you do not have a Canvas account, you can create an account through Canvas Free for Teacher (FFT) or log in with Mastery Connect. Free for Teacher is a free service that allows users to create and/or participate in Canvas courses.
If you experience any issues logging into the Instructure Community, try logging out of Canvas and then logging in again. If logging out and logging in again doesn't work, there may be an issue with your Canvas username and password.
