But passive video consumption, where students simply watch without interaction, does not always translate to meaningful learning.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructure.com\/resources\/ebooks\/canvas-studio-guide-higher-ed-edition\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Canvas Studio<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, an interactive video platform within the Canvas LMS, helps faculty transform video content into an engaging and accessible learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unlike standard video hosting platforms,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Canvas Studio<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0allows faculty to embed quizzes directly into videos, add time-stamped discussion prompts, and track how students interact with content. These features\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">encourage active learning<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, providing students with opportunities to pause, reflect, and engage rather than passively watch. Research shows that when students interact with instructional videos, whether by answering embedded questions or contributing to discussions, they retain information more effectively and stay more engaged in the learning process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beyond engagement,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Canvas Studio also prioritizes accessibility<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. With built-in\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">captioning and transcripts<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, the tool ensures that all students, including those who rely on assistive technology, can fully access video content. This aligns with\u00a0UBalt\u2019s\u00a0commitment to inclusive learning and meets digital accessibility standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CELTT continues to create programming that supports faculty in building\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">21st-century teaching skills<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, including best practices for student engagement and accessible course design. While\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Promoting Instructional Excellence (PIE)<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0participants will explore these topics this semester, faculty can always reach out for individualized support.
