ALFRED MILLER: I'm Alfred Miller. I'm a CTE teacher at Berkeley Adult School, and I'm also an instructional technologist, as well as the Canvas admin. Students can use it to access any of the curriculum at any time at any place because you can do that through a website. But is it organized? Is there a way for people to turn things in?

So not only does campus help you organize your whole course, create the structure of the directionality of the flow of the course, it also has the flexibility of you having the whole collection aspect because you can make assignments. People turn things in in multitude of different ways.

There is the real power too. I was just teaching a training yesterday where I showed them, hey, your students can record their voice or a video of themselves when they turn in an assignment. So if you're an English language teacher and you want to hear them actually pronounce it, now just type in the words. You have them submit the assignment by saying record a video of yourself. Totally insane.

And just there's so many great things about what Canvas can do. You can make assignments that embed videos. You can embed websites. You could use Canvas Studio and try to make your own Canvas Studio quizzes from a video, granted it's not maybe as good as other ed tech tools that people know like an Edpuzzle and such. But there are zillion different coordination apps that can be coordinated in.
