Canvas Discussions can be a great way to help your students engage deeply with course content and each other’s ideas, but it can take some work to make your discussions truly engaging. This workshop will introduce strategies and highlight some new Canvas features to enhance your discussions, including the ability to set due dates for peer comments, enable instructor-facing AI summaries for entire discussions, and more.

We’ll also explore ways to address the role of generative AI in discussions—whether by discouraging students from over-relying on AI for their responses or crafting prompts that explicitly invite its use. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a wider range of ideas to take your Canvas Discussions to the next level: more interactive, meaningful, and effective. All Temple instructors and staff are welcome.

Facilitator: Jonah Chambers, Sr. Educational Technology Specialist, CAT
