There are multiple ways to interact in your Canvas course. Some interactions include Announcements, Discussions, and Conversations. Announcements are a way for instructors to communicate with students about course activities. Students can only create announcements in a group workspace. With Discussions, Canvas provides an integrated system for focused and threaded discussions, which allows both instructors and students alike to start and contribute to as many discussion topics as desired. Conversations is the messaging tool used instead of email to communicate within the Canvas course with a group, an individual student, a group of students, or with your instructor. In your course, you will also participate in Groups. A Canvas Group will provide a collaborative workspace where you can share files, hold video conferences, or work on writing assignments.
