Communicate with your instructor and peers
Communicate with your instructors and peers
There are multiple ways to interact in your course. Some interactions include Announcements, Discussions, and Conversations.
Announcements: Announcements are a way for instructors to communicate with students about course activities. Students can only create announcements in a group workspace.
Discussions: Canvas provides an integrated system for focused and threaded discussions, which allows both instructors and students alike to start and contribute to as many discussion topics as desired.
