Canvas

All remote courses will be facilitated through SAIC Canvas. Click here to access your account and accompanying tools and resources. Questions about remote teaching platforms (i.e., Canvas) can be emailed to canvas-help@saic.edu. General questions can be addressed to the CRIT HelpDesk at 312.345.3535 or crithelpdesk@saic.edu.

Canvas can be used to organize course content in modules, upload and record videos using Panopto, make PDFs more accessible using Ally, create graded discussions for students to share images and presentations, and schedule student appointments.

During the semester, CRIT staff provide Canvas workshops every weekday from 2:00–3:00 p.m. CT. In the first 30 minutes, they will cover topics that have been frequently requested. The rest of the time will be guided by the needs and questions from participants. Email canvas-help@saic.edu to reach CRIT support for help with Canvas

Panopto is a video platform for the SAIC community. Instructors can embed videos from the Panopto library into their Canvas course discussions or assignments. Instructors can also upload new videos for students in a specific course or create new videos from a webcam, attached AV equipment, screen capture, or a tiled combination of the aforementioned options.
