Access Canvas Studio

Canvas Studio is accessible through RMC Canvas.

Navigate to https://canvas.rmc.edu and login with your RMC username and password.

Accessing Canvas Studio from your Global Navigation User's Global Navigation includes Studio

We recommend instructors and students access Canvas Studio from their Global Navigation to create and edit screen capture, and to manage videos (including lecture capture, YouTube videos and uploaded videos) for their courses.

It is only from the Global Navigation that the instructor can create quizzes to videos in his/her Studio Library. Refer to tutorials (Text | Video) on adding quizzes.

Accessing Studio inside a Course

The link "Studio" on the Course Navigation is only available to the Instructor. Students do not see it on the course navigation.

The course instructor can add and record new videos/screen captures from the course navigation, which become part of his/her Studio library, accessible from the Global Navigation. Inside a course, the instructor cannot create quizzes to media, but can embed media with quizzes already created from the global navigation.
