Available to teachers and students in Canvas worldwide at no additional cost
SALT LAKE CITY, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To instruct, the leading learning ecosystem, today announced an exclusive Canvas collaborative learning experience for all Canvas users, powered by Lucid Software, the leader in visual collaboration. Starting from June 15, 2024, all Canvas users worldwide will have access to the Lucid Education Suite, which provides teachers and students with visual collaboration solutions anytime, anywhere within Canvas, at no additional cost. The Lucid Education Suite consists of Lucidspark, a collaborative virtual whiteboard, and Lucidchart, an intelligent diagramming application.
Lucid Education Suite’s collaborative capabilities enable educators to create a more effective student learning environment that encourages teamwork and active participation. These tools are especially relevant to courses that require project-based learning, STEM-focused curricula, and more. Combining these powerful Lucid solutions with Canvas, the number one LMS, gives educators the ability to facilitate creative learning experiences that include collaborative assignments. Educators can now easily incorporate modeling and ideation and encourage students to create compelling presentations within their existing LMS. With the ability to create diagrams, students can better show their work, not just their answers.
“As schools serve a broader spectrum of students, Instructure’s focus is to help them meet students where they are,” said Shiren Vijiasingam, director of product at Instructure. “This enhanced learning experience enables the learning journey to be more collaborative, personalized and engaging for all students who use Canvas every day. It further enhances the core LMS experience and adds to recent robust enhancements ranging from engaging discussions to offline mobile capabilities for the Canvas Student app .”
The integration makes a more personalized learning experience available to a wider group of learners around the world. Teachers can now create innovative assignments that encourage student collaboration and visually explain concepts. By making it easier for students to demonstrate learning in new, creative ways, integration gives teachers new ways to assess learning and design learning experiences that lead to better outcomes.
“This partnership with Instructure marks a significant milestone in our mission to make visual collaboration an integral part of every student’s learning while empowering educators to foster creativity and engagement in their classrooms,” he said. Jeff Bischoff, Lucid’s general manager for education. “Lucid Education Suite is designed to be a catalyst for innovation, enabling students and teachers to visualize concepts through creative, visual and collaborative learning. We look forward to seeing the ways teachers and students use these capabilities to push the boundaries of what is possible in learning.”
Instructors at each institution will have the ability to leverage the Lucid Education Suite within their Canvas courses starting at June 15, 2024.
