This session focuses on Canvas Discussion Boards and Panopto, including new Discussion features such as multiple due dates and AI‑generated summaries that help instructors quickly gauge participation. We’ll also explore using Panopto for video‑based discussions to encourage authentic responses, reduce AI misuse, and strengthen instructor and student connections.
