Module 2 Canvas Studio: About Interactivity

Canvas Studio has an interactive component that allows students to engage with the media content in real-time by commenting directly on the media timeline. Comments are noted with the posting time and date, along with the aligned time in the media. Students and staff can also post replies to comments.

Features

Comments

The comments in Canvas Studio are designed to be viewed without losing the context of the video itself. Instead of being forced to scroll down the screen to read them, they appear directly on the timeline itself.

For those that prefer the old "YouTube" style can also scroll through the detailed comments underneath. These comments also allow for threaded replies to ensure context is always maintained.

Close Captioning

For accessibility, Canvas Studio also allows for the Auto Generation of Subtitles for the visually impaired. These then display to students who enable it on the viewer.

Example

Below is a Youtube video that has been embedded in this course through Canvas Studio. In it, you will now be able to see Studio comments from students and teachers as well as Subtitles for accessibility compliance.
