Canvas tools for instruction
Tools in Canvas you can leverage in your course
In designing activities in Canvas, it is important to understand the type of interactions you want to facilitate. The following table lists interaction types aligned with the Canvas tool that supports these interactions. Note that many other non-Canvas tools are integrated into Canvas and other standalone tools that can facilitate these interactions. A learning technology consultant can provide greater details about each tool's specific features and limitations.
