VoiceThread Update: New Assignment Builder
The new updates for the VoiceThread Assignment Builder are officially live! It’s now easier than ever to build a VoiceThread assignment in Canvas.
Note: If you want to use a comment-based assignment from a previous semester, you’ll need to first create a clean master copy.
Canvas Update: New Rich Content Editor
The changes to the rich content editor that were announced in December are officially live! Please note that this impacts how you access Ensemble (to upload a video) as well as how to link to a document (e.g. syllabus).
Overview of the New Rich Content Editor
Canvas Update: Student View Button
You might have noticed that “Student View” is no longer one of the links on the right-side menu from your homepage — that’s because it’s now available on EVERY page in Canvas!
Wherever you are in your Canvas course, you can click on the icon of a pair of glasses in the upper right corner of your screen to see the page from a student’s perspective.
