Learners Stay Focused:
An Organized, One-Tab Experience

No more browser acrobatics and need to jump between half a dozen tabs to complete your learning.

With Canopy, you just have one tab. That means you can focus on what you’re learning rather than how you’re learning.

Navigate Your Learning Journey with Just Two Clicks

When you enter a course, you’ll see a bar for each unit. If you expand the unit bar, you’ll see the lessons within the unit. Expand those, and now you’re viewing the content. That means with just 2 clicks, you’re ready to learn.

The expand-collapse system not only keeps learning organized but also reduces cognitive load. Think of cognitive load as your brain's workload — when there's too much to process at once, learning becomes harder, just like how juggling multiple tasks makes it difficult to focus on any one thing well. So when you expand only the section you're working on, you reduce cognitive load and absorb information more effectively.

Tracking Your Progress Has Never Been Easier

Progress tracking is built right in, making it easy to stay on top of your learning journey. The intuitive progress bars show exactly how far you've come in each unit and lesson, while the 'All Courses' page gives you a birds-eye view of progress across every course you're enrolled in.

This helps you stay motivated and ensures you never lose track of where you left off.

Is Canopy Right for You?

Professional Development

Professional Development leaders use Canopy in 3 primary ways:

  • To create self-paced PD opportunities with certificates attached
  • As pre-work for a 'flipped PD' model so that teachers can spend in-person time focused on applying the content to their own context
  • To create private communities where facilitators can share and customize PD sessions

Most importantly, Canopy's one-tab organization and variety of multimedia features make it easier to create engaging PD experiences that lead to deeper understanding.

Over 90% of educators who experience PD in Canopy say they prefer it to other platforms they have used

Networks of Schools

Canopy partners with districts, charter networks, departments of education, and other education organizations to:

  • Create custom admin dashboards that allow leaders to track metrics by student, classroom, school, or region
  • Set up private communities for instructional leaders to disseminate curriculum across the entire network
  • Provide ongoing training and support

Of course, adopting Canopy also saves time and stress for students, teachers, and families as well as administrators.

Canopy works in close collaboration to develop custom solutions for network partners

Curriculum Providers

Curriculum providers use Canopy like a 'Shopify for digital curriculum'. Before Shopify, brick and mortar stores wanted to sell online, but it was difficult to create their own ecommerce platform. Shopify solved this problem.

Canopy does the same thing for curriculum companies that have mostly focused on PDFs or video content. With Canopy, these organizations can transform their existing resources into a fully realized curriculum - complete with multiple tools for student engagement, built in progress tracking, Google Classroom integrations, etc - and then sell it to schools and districts. (Individual creators use Canopy more as an Etsy)

Education Consultants

Education consultants use Canopy to strengthen their relationships with clients in 3 primary ways:

  • To offer self-paced PD trainings with asynchronous feedback and a custom certificate
  • As pre-work for in-person sessions so participants are primed for the sessions and the consultants arrive with a more nuanced understanding of the local context
  • To add a local leader as a co-teacher on a training module so that there is transparency with progress and other analytics

Most importantly, Canopy's one-tab organization system and variety of multimedia features make it easier to create engaging trainings that lead to deeper understanding.

67% of educators say Canopy is 'Much Better' for trainings compared to other platforms they have used (25% say 'Better')

Homeschool Families

Homeschool families use Canopy in 3 primary ways:

  • To stay organized by keeping all of their learning materials in a single tab
  • To create private communities to share/sell projects, activities, and entire curriculums with other families in their network
  • To partner as co-teachers on a shared course so that their children can engage in discussions with each other

It turns out that the features designed to help teachers stay organized, collaborate with each other, and share quality digital curriculum with a wider audience are also ideal to support homeschool families as well.
