Video Response Discussions in Canvas

Using video discussions in Canvas helps to increase student interaction. Through the Rich Content Editor, students are able to post or record videos directly in Canvas discussions using the Media Recording tool or the Media Upload tool. They can also respond to other students’ video posts using either video or text.
