Product Infosheet: Canvas Practice
Practice creates a low-risk environment for every teacher to develop both competence and confidence, regardless of phase, subject area, or style of pedagogy. The web video-based professional development tool gives teachers the opportunity to ‘learn by doing’ and receive timely, meaningful and actionable peer and expert feedback as part of continuing professional development (CPD).
The Canvas Practice Product Overview introduces a specialized video-based assessment and peer-review tool designed to bridge the gap between theory and application. Practice focuses on "deliberate practice" and competency-based learning, allowing students to record video responses to prompts, receive structured feedback, and engage in social learning. By providing a safe space for learners to demonstrate skills—such as public speaking, clinical procedures, or language proficiency—Practice ensures that students are not just memorizing content, but mastering the "how" behind their studies.
The document highlights key features that drive engagement, including automated feedback, peer-review loops, and the ability for instructors to scale personalized coaching. Practice integrates seamlessly within the Canvas LMS, making it easy to incorporate high-touch, authentic assessments into any course. Ultimately, the overview positions Canvas Practice as a vital tool for institutions looking to increase career readiness and student confidence by turning learning into a repeatable, social, and measurable process of improvement.
