- 交换不同媒介以课程交付，以促进课程内容的参与和可访问性。
- Keep your course content accessible for everyone by followingaccessibility best practices(e.g., adding closed captioning and transcripts for video and being mindful of how you use colours, tables, and links).

- You can organize modules by weeks, days, topics, or whatever makes the most sense for your course context.
- Each module can contain text, multimedia, files, discussions, assignments, quizzes, and other learning materials. Content can be dragged and dropped in the desired spot in your module sequence.
- You can hide modules until a specified date or set up prerequisites students need to complete in order to access the next module.

创作in Canvas
Upload video, audio, and image files (or have your students do so) in the “My Media” area of a Canvas course, and embed this multimedia wherever you need to.
What are the benefits?
- With Kaltura, you have unlimited file storage and can upload individual media files up to 5GB each.
- You can add in-video quizzes to engage students as they watch video lectures, which integrate with the Canvas gradebook as assignments, if you want to track student performance.
- 创作’s auto-captioning streamlines adding closed-captioning and video transcripts to your course, which improves accessible for students, with less time commitment for you.

UBC Blogs
Host open course websites, where you and your students can create, share, and comment on content.
What are the benefits?
- UBC Blogs allows content to be posted publicly, meaning people outside the course can engage with it and students can continue accessing it after the course is over.
- Content from other UBC platforms can be embedded into UBC Blogs, such as media from CLAS, pages from Wiki, or videos from UBC YouTube.
- You can provide direct access to UBC Blogs in Canvas through your course’s navigation or as part of a module, if you want to use both tools together.

Create, manage, and share content in a collaborative space that is editable by anyone with a UBC Campus-Wide Login (CWL).
What are the benefits?
- Enable collaboration on course content for your students, without having to do much setup yourself (like creating a site on UBC Blogs or setting up Canvas groups).
- Having students learn the markup language used in UBC Wiki provides an additional real-world skill, as this language is also used for other wiki platforms like Wikipedia.
