Teachers can also shuffle questions, add a time limit, or allow the use of the on-screen calculator.

Collaborative and Interactive Discussion Threads

Canvas encourages student engagement through collaborative discussions via its Discussions Page. Teachers can create a Discussion thread where students can interact with others, reply, like a comment and engage in graded or group discussions. Within the thread, students have the flexibility to submit videos, PPT slides, docs, and a lot more. While as an instructor, you can maintain control over acceptable formats by limiting the file types. Teachers can also enable peer reviews to promote active participation and meaningful dialogue.

Teacher and Student Annotations

Annotations provide an interactive and immersive way for students to engage with course materials. Teachers can encourage active learning by assigning student annotation tasks.
