How do I start using Annoto in Canvas?
Updated onArticleBy default, Canvas course Media Galleries only have Annoto Analytics features enabled. To start using Annoto video commenting and other features, the course instructor must first activate it in the Annoto dashboard. Video commenting must be enabled in each individual course that the instructor wants to use it. Once enabled in the course's Annoto dashboard (located in the Media Gallery), all videos embedded or published in that specific course will feature the Annoto commenting module. Please note that Annoto is only available in videos that are published from the instructor or student's Kaltura/My Media account in Canvas.

How do I add captions to my video in My Media in Canvas?
Updated onArticleKaltura REACH captions are now available on all new videos uploaded to your Kaltura (My Media) account. Kaltura REACH uses automated speech recognition (ASR) to create machine-based captions for your videos. Machine captions will now be provided by default for all videos uploaded after October 26, 2020. Machine captions provided by Kaltura REACH are typically 75%-85% accurate and can be edited in the captions editor feature to improve accuracy. For more information about the captions editor, visit the How do I edit video captions in My Media in Canvas guide.
Machine-based captioning alone may not produce fully ADA-compliant content. If a student with a Center for Disability & Access accommodation, the student will still need to contact the Center for Disability & Access to ensure full accessibility.

What is cross-listing Canvas courses?
Updated onArticleInstructors can combine students from different courses or sections into a single class in Canvas.
Note: Make sure to cross-list courses before classes begin. Cross-listing courses will delete all submissions and grades that took place prior to cross-listing.
Courses and Sections
Canvas is organized by courses and sections. Courses contain content: PDFs, media files, pages, modules, presentations, assessments, etc. Cross-listing takes sections, which are essentially buckets of people, combines these groups of students, and connects them into a single Canvas course.
Parent and Child Course
The child course is where you establish the cross-list to the parent course of your choosing. After cross-listing the child to the parent, your designing and teaching will take place in the parent course.
Important Details
- The parent course, not the child course, appears in the course list when selecting Courses in Canvas.
- Students taking the course you designated as the child course will see their course, not the parent course, when selecting Courses in Canvas.
- Students in all cross linked courses will appear in the parent course's grade book and roster.
