All Canvas courses include access to the Lucid Education Suite, empowering instructors and students with visual collaboration tools (whiteboarding and diagramming) within Canvas.
The Lucid Education Suite comprises Lucidspark (collaborative virtual whiteboard) and Lucidchart (intelligent diagramming application).
These tools elevate your and your students' teaching and learning experience in Canvas through interactive assignments, collaborative whiteboards, and more engaging activities.
