Canvas Studio Annotation

Whether you create your initial video in Canvas Studio or have uploaded or added third-party, you can take full advantage of Canvas Studio annotation to create interactive video experiences. Annotation allows you to add notecards and hyperlinks at significant parts of the video content along the timeline.

Benefits of interactive/annotated videos:

Enhanced Active Learning: Helping students actively engage with video content

• Providing interactivity promotes active learning engagement across your video content, moving students from passive to ‘Active viewing’.
• Studies show students learn more readily when they are actively viewing video content rather than passively ‘watching’. Giving students a reason to engage is key here.
• To encourage active learning using interactive note cards, you may add links to self-check quizzes, discussions or other related activities at certain parts of the video timeline.

Enhanced Signalling: Helping students know what matters

• Providing annotations to online content allows you to provide signaling when you are ‘not in the room’ or presenting.
• Best practices for the use of multimedia in education determine the use of signaling for students helps students understand which content is of high importance, and in-context relationships between related materials.

Reduced cognitive load: Helping reduce cognitive load for students

• Review is an important part of learning and assessment. Often our students may review long lecture recordings or third-party videos as part of this process.
• Adding annotation at the most imperative points will help keep students on track, reducing the cognitive load.

How do I add annotations to my media in Canvas Studio?

Interactive note card annotation features are available on all Canvas Studio content that has been uploaded, recorded and/or curated from YouTube or Vimeo to your library.
