Canvas Studio, Instructure’s video learning platform (formerly and also known as Arc), is now available in Emory Canvas courses. We are excited that all faculty and students at Emory have access to Canvas Studio. It makes adding video activities to your Canvas courses easy. Get started by clicking the Studio link in the course navigation menu or the universal navigation (always at left in blue) to access Canvas Studio. Then…
1. Add Video to Canvas Studio
- Record from your screen or webcam
- Upload videos from your files or embed YouTube videos
Once you add a video, you can request automatic captioning in Canvas Studio. It’s a fast way to make content more accessible.
2. Make It Interactive
- Add videos to assignment or discussion prompts
- Assign students to create videos using Canvas Studio
- Add quiz questions to videos
- Let students comment on videos (on by default)
After students watch your video, get straightforward analytics from the Insights tab: see how many individuals watched through each ten second portion of the video.
