Video doesn't have to create passive zombies. It can spark dynamic discussion and electric engagement. Canvas Studio engages and empowers learners to collaborate and interact with the content by allowing them to share, comment, and give feedback all within the video timelines. Dynamic video creates opportunities to make learning more active, providing a platform for students who might otherwise be passive and non-participatory in class, to interact and participate. We've linked directly to the Studio user guide.

Formative is a web-based student response and assessment tool for the flipped, BYOD, or 1-to-1 classroom. Upon sign-up, teachers can add classes via class code, URL, Clever, or Google Classroom. Teachers can then choose whether to take advantage of detailed tutorials and a plethora of content showing ideas for use, or they can upload or create assignments on their own that let students type, record audio, enter numbers, draw, upload an image, answer multiple-choice questions, and more. Students can use accounts (which allows teachers to track their progress over time) or respond without logging in.
