Course Collaboration Tool
Add all of your students to a collaboration group at one time, whether you use Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Drive.
Students can then access these tools from within the portal or from within the course in Canvas.
Canvas
Canvas enhances the classroom experience by enabling collaboration, feedback, and access to documents, assignments and other materials.
Any video added to My Media in Canvas will automatically get machine captioned. Machine captioning uses AI to listen to the video and apply captioning. Accuracy is impacted by the clarity of your audio (mic quality, pronunciation, or other audio issues).
Zoom
Zoom is a cloud-based web conferencing service that allows users to meet and share content online. Start or join a meeting from anywhere with an internet connection.
Using Zoom in Canvas
With Zoom's Canvas integration, instructors can schedule, start and manage meetings directly from Canvas. Students can join meetings and access cloud recordings from within the course as well.
