No more folders. Canopy’s expand/collapse organization system allows you to organize the content for hundreds of lessons on a single screen. Visual progress tracking means that you see exactly where each of your learners are at with just a glance.
No more endless tabs. Canopy offers over 20 different ways for learners to engage with content, demonstrate learning and discuss ideas from within the platform. This means learners can focus on the content - not the technology. Veteran educators and fans of Universal Design for Learning will appreciate how powerful this is for in-depth understanding.
Canopy lets creators sell seats in an online course as well. Other platforms are great for the 'one to the faceless many' model of digital course creation. But Canopy is ideal for cohort based learning experiences where the instructor wants to create conversations, review submissions, and offer personalized feedback. You can add a payment feature to your Canopy course or upload a roster from a csv file if you've done your course registration outside of Canopy.
Canopy’s unique communities feature allows educators and learning designers to easily share lessons, units, or entire courses in just moments. Courses can also have unlimited co-teachers so multiple instructors can create content and give feedback to a single cohort of learners.
Canopy’s branded course libraries allow any individual or organization to be their own digital curriculum publisher. Users can sell access to courses and/or the actual curriculum materials to other educators. Organizations and individuals can also choose to create external preview pages that just showcase content to make well organized content more accessible.

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)
