Canvas Studio Discussions
Canvas Studio can be used for both graded and ungraded discussions. The ungraded discussion is useful as a knowledge check through course videos.
- First, navigate to Canvas Studio in the Canvas global navigation.
- Click on the desired video. Click the gear in the lower right-hand corner of the video and turn on comments.
- Click where you would like to insert a comment or question in the video (1). Enter the comment or question (2), then click blue comment button on the right (3).
- Since comments are turned on in Settings, you will now see a dot on the video timeline where the comment was inserted. As the video progresses, it will briefly show the questions as a pop-up on the video. If students do not see the comment/question pop-up, all questions and comments are available below the video including the time.
The video can now be used for ungraded or graded assignments/discussions. The solution below provides specifics on each.
