As we use Canvas every day, it can be easy to skip over some of the small but useful features. Take a peek at the three lesser-known features of Canvas, did you know Canvas could do that?
Share quizzes, pages, and assignments with colleagues
Have you ever wished for an easy way to share something with a peer? Using Canvas’s share feature, you can easily share something with another faculty member, and they can add it to their own course. How do I send an assignment to another instructor?
Create Automatic Captions for Your Videos
Canvas Studio will now automatically generate captions for uploaded media, as well as Studio-recorded and YouTube media. Simply upload your media into Canvas Studio, and the system will begin generating captions for you to review. When you add your Canvas Studio file to your course, the captions will be added as well! How do I use Canvas Studio Captions?
Message Students Who….
Canvas allows you to message specific students in your course based on criteria. The available criteria include students who received a certain score, did not submit an assignment, or submitted an assignment late. This is a great way of keeping in contact with students and reaching out to those who might need extra support. How do I send a message to students from the Gradebook?
