Studio - Higher Ed | Instructure

Turn one-way viewing into two-way collaboration.

Canvas Studio turns passive viewing into active discussion between you and your higher ed students, whether you're in class, remote, or blended.

Our instructors find it very useful to have so many capabilities in one platform. They can connect with students, share videos, share a screen, do demonstrations.

Easy Uploads & Imports

Both students and instructors can upload video from their devices (or add it from YouTube) straight to their courses.

A Better View of Views

See who’s watched a video, for how long, and which parts. What's interesting/boring/confusing your students?

Collaborative Integrations

Easily connect with platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Hangouts.

Better Professional Development

Record or import video. Share it with your fellow educators. Receive and respond to feedback. Practice. Even interact via video.

Active Learning

Video learning that involves the learner.

Studio's intuitive tools let you create and deliver interactive learning experiences that can hold students’ attention in a world of distraction. Students can also submit their own video creations in Studio and offer feedback on each other's work. Engagement all around.

Not only can I see who watched a video, I can see how long they watched it. It provides me insights so I can know how this video is being used.

Gauge Understanding

Quizzes and grading, within video.

Studio makes it easy to incorporate instruction, assessments, and additional learning opportunities right within the video experience.

Create video quizzes and add questions to the timeline; have students answer them as they watch.

Give students instant feedback on their responses, and submit their grades to the Gradebook.

Watch student-submitted videos and offer inline comments.

Apply rubrics with SpeedGrader, and provide quick, personalised feedback on students' work.

Assign differentiated videos based on MasteryPaths.

Data and Analytics

1. Get analytics and insights.
2. Actually use them.

Find out who’s watching which videos and for how long. See overall class data (learn more about the video), or look at students' viewing details (learn more about the student). Then use this data to inform your instruction and improve the learning experience.
