Canvas “Help” Menu is Now “Resources”
The “Help” icon in the Canvas Global Navigation menu is now “Resources.” Talkspace, LLCC’s solution that provides students with convenient, personal and professional online/virtual therapy, is now featured prominently at the top of the list. Additional links have also been added to direct students to various college resources and academic support services.
This change has been made to the system navigation menu and will not impact on any individual course design, but will allow all students direct access to these resources regardless of course registration. Check it out!

We feel tremendously blessed by our friends and family at LLCC.
