This session will provide faculty with simple, practical strategies to increase student engagement using tools already in Canvas. We’ll explore effective discussion boards, quick exit tickets, live interactive response activities, and ways to strengthen instructor presence through announcements and targeted messaging. Attendees will leave with easy-to-implement techniques to apply right away.
