How to Use Canvas Studio Tutorial [Full Overview]

[@cassandrairving2127]

I am an older student returning to college. This tutorial was VERY helpful. Thank you!

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mofo-mindoffikeostensibly9626]

Thank you, Ashlee! I will be using this, moving forward. Seems so much easier than my whole KZbin workaround for the past 5 years. Thanks for the clarity!

My University is just switching to Canvas Studio and they sent me your link to learn about it. Super helpful!!!

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

I’m so glad the videos are helpful! I’ve got a full playlist series for Canvas tutorials on my channel. Please tell your school a big thank you for sharing my content. I’m just happy I can help fellow educators. Best wishes on your new journey with canvas!

[@isisyennycondor9650]

Dear Emilie. Hi, I am Isis. can you tell me the anual cost of Canvas Studio, please?

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

@@isisyennycondor9650 you’ll need to contact Canvas directly to get a price quote. Canvas studio is part of the entire Canvas platform as an additional element you can add on. It depends upon many factors but you’ll need your administration from your institution to reach out to canvas to discuss cost.

[@EncryptingJava]

@@isisyennycondor9650 I know this was posted a long time ago but in case people are still wondering, it’s a fraction of the price your institution is paying. For the default price with 200 user licenses, it’s about $5,500 for canvas alone. Then about $2,000 for studio annually then $4.00 per user license. So it’s at least a couple thousand, however it would be more expensive for larger institutions, the prices I listed are the lowest possible. This is as of June 2023.

Thank you! You made this so clear and simple.

[@kyeni68]

Thanks Ashlee. Our school district is moving to Canvas this year, and your videos have been really helpful.

[@amisallee]

This was a super helpful beginner overview. Thanks!

[@foothillhighschoolmusic93306]

Wow, I can't believe that I didn't comment on this video when it came out. I use Studio by far the most out of anything in Canvas. My students submit almost all of their playing assignments to me. That way I don't lose any class time. That was one of the silver linings that comes out of this pandemic. Great video! Keep it up.

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Thanks for sharing!

[@StephenLerro]

Thank you so much Ashlee! Great job and incredibly helpful!!!

You’re so welcome!

Thanks! We are also part of the California Community Colleges and are switching from TechSmith to Canvas Studio. Very helpful! Thanks!

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Hello fellow Cali educator! So glad it was helpful. Best wishes as you make the big switch.

[@pennyburdette9812]

You are so easy to understand! Thank you so much for your instructions. Do you have a video to teach my students how to use Studio to record a video and submit it to me on Canvas? I teach a Basic Public Speaking class at a local university and require my students to do one speech on a video. This will be so much easier than getting a youtube link from them.

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

You're so welcome! I don't have video on that just yet. I agree, having them do it inside of Canvas is so much easier. What I do for a project like this is great a discussion post and have them upload their video right there as a post. If you want it private and not for the whole class then you could play with it being an assignment and filming it all in canvas. I've found most of them use their phone to film videos so having them upload the file directly as an assignment seems easy for them.

[@SdcityNewscen]

Thank you! I plan to visit your site more often. I'm not new to Canvas but have not been using studio. What a waste! I need to add it.

[@scottmeier7052]

Thank you very helpful!!

[@wandabutterly3478]

One note about "adding" KZbin videos into your Studio Library is that the captions do not carry over into Canvas Studio. In education, captions are a must by law (Section 508). You cannot even request captioning in Canvas Studio for any KZbin video. So my suggestion is if you happen to find a well-captioned video on KZbin, use the "share" button and copy the embed code and use the embed tool in Canvas to add it to your content. This will include the captions :0)

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Thanks Wanda so much for mentioning this! You are spot on here. I still embed youtube videos myself because I like to created playlist series for my class for each topic so it's easy for them to access all the content in one place plus the accessibility factor for cc. What I've discovered is that many schools don't allow access to KZbin so the only way is for them to upload into Studio. This has created so many challenges for teaching online unfortunately. I've heard of teachers who purchase the video content themselves (like via dvd or downloadable file) so they can upload into Studio for the cc.

[@socprof]

@@VirtualTeachingPro I'm having this issue of uploading a youtube videos but the CC doesn't come with it so I can't create a quiz without a closed caption. Is there a workaround?

[@janettedorricott8049]

Yes Yes Yes!!! Thank you for brought it up!

setting up sub plans - have added videos to studio (with quizes) - how do I add them to a module instead of announcement?

[@samfraulino]

If you create a quiz with a video as you did, after the student takes the quiz, does the grade go to the grade book?

[@keiquesim]

Does this work with iPads? Also, does it record grades for students?

[@wendymcclendon5554]

I have made many videos in studio. How do I make it to where the video shows in the page with the first slide I start with instead of the last one I ended with?

[@CompSciTutorials]

Do the results from the video quizzes go to grades or is this just in the video analytics? Thanks.

[@backonearth483]

Is there a way to allow students access to the entire studio? Either the main studio or the course studio.

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Not that I’m aware of

[@nicholausbell2749]

How do you put in more then one video for an assignment on canvas?

[@omoalake]

Where do you get the canvas studio on the Canvas app?I cannot locate it.

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

You might not have access to studio if your uni/college doesn't include it in their subscription with Canvas. I think it's extra because I tend to only have it at R1s and cali community colleges which are very robust with their online learning and tend to get all the bells and whistles. Contact your canvas support on camps and ask if you have access to it.

[@annimielucas5614]

Hi Ashlee. I teach 5 different Maths grades and 5 different Science grades. How do you suggest I set up my courses since each student is assigned to a different class. Please help! Thank you!

[@janettedorricott8049]

Hi Ashlee, I, an instructor, am very familiar with Canvas and Canvas Studio. Why can't the students follow my steps on recording and submitting their videos, where they must embed the display media for the teachers' feedback in my PDF and my video? They tended to miss the button "Embed." Can you create a video for the students to view how to record the video and embed the display media? They will click the button Start Assignment in my Canvas. Thank you Janette

[@celinajohnsen]

If i make a video there does that mean everyone else can see it? Or does it go away after I delete it from my uploads?

[@Bulldog555]

In the insights tab, can you see how many students have "downloaded" a video?

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Not that I’m aware of

[@Bulldog555]

@@VirtualTeachingPro Okay, thank you!

Is there a tool that allows adding of backgrounds to Studio?

[@stephanieannefeltesguinnms6657]

How did you blur at 15:45? Can you do this in an edit after you publish the video?

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

I blurred it in my editing program before I uploaded to KZbin to protect the identity of my students. So after I filmed this tutorial I then added the blurring effect before posting to KZbin. You’re not able to do it after publishing on KZbin if that is your question. Does that help?

[@gethsemaneapartamentos8475]

Hello Mrs. Ashlee, What if I’m not part of an institution and I’ll like to use it..? How do I get it.? Thanks :-*

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

I highly suggest using a diff platform than canvas if you are not working for an institution that already offers it. I use kajabi for my personal online courses I teach but there are manny other options.

[@gethsemaneapartamentos8475]

@@VirtualTeachingPro oh, nooooo. I’ve been learning all CANVAS from you 🙈 Do you have any videos on how to Kajabi..? ☹️

open what?

[@konik8620]

Wow! I saw it but didn't realize it is so very useful tool. Thanks

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

You bet! It's such a great tool to help design the pages so they feel what I like to call "fancy" 😉 Try it out on maybe just a few pages to see what you like. There's a ton of options available. Which element do you think you might add in first?
