Introduction

Hello Faculty,

This page will continue to be updated with resources for you to help you get started with Canvas & Ensemble (a video solution) which integrates very nicely with Canvas. Canvas also has its own built in Video solutions. For conference tools, Canvas has its own built in and we have integrated Microsoft Teams in Canvas as well. We also have a testing solution integrated with Canvas as well.
