Record instructional videos or directions using the Record/Upload Media tool. Adding audio and video to a lesson can boost engagement and align to different learning styles.

Accessibility Checker
You can use the Accessibility Checker to design course content while considering accessibility attributes. This tool only verifies content created within the Rich Content Editor.
Canvas Studio
Embed your previously-created instructional videos directly from Canvas Studio into your module or lesson. Creating a personal presence supports a learner's engagement with the content.
Icon Maker
Use the Icon Maker to create visual indicators throughout your lesson. This is a great way to get a student's attention and for creating scannable, consistent content. Having simple and customizable icons benefits all students, but especially our littlest learners (K-5).
Google Drive
Embed multimedia directly from your Google Drive ( Slides, Docs, Sheets, etc.).
Create hyperlinks to external websites and internal course links to provide easy access to learners.
Hyperlink
Add images to your lesson content to create a more visually appealing display of information. You can add images by uploading from your laptop, searching Unsplash, or inputting an image's URL.

Equation Editor
Canvas includes the option to create equations and expressions with its graphical point-and-click editor. The Equation Editor can be used for basic mathematical formatting for introductory math courses or for more advanced mathematical text for higher-level math courses. Both students and instructors have access to the editor.
