Canvas Studio: self-study course

Welcome to Canvas Studio Basics!

Welcome to our resource for getting started with Canvas Studio!
This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to use Canvas Studio effectively in your role as a teacher or administrator. We have designed these guides as a course to give participants the chance to test Canvas Studio as students. This means that we have created video assignments, interactive quizzes and discussions requiring video contributions using Studio. If you complete all the module requirement you will earn a certificate of completion with TRUE Documents.

Canvas Studio is a powerful video platform that makes it easy to create, manage, and share media to enhance engagement in your courses. In this introduction, you'll explore its core features and learn how to apply them in your teaching or administrative work.

The course is divided into six modules that you can go through at your own pace.

On some pages there are video guides and text guides, on others we have only provided a text guide.
