Canvas can also be used with many other UBC learning technologies.

  • CLAS (Collaborative Learning Annotation System) is a specialized online media player for recording, sharing, annotating, and commenting on videos. Annotations and comments for the videos are timeline-based, so students and instructors can leave feedback exactly where it applies. For detailed overview see https://clas.ubc.ca/.

  • New application for peer feedback. ComPAIR was conceived as a way of using the Adaptive Comparative Judgement (ACJ) method as part of student assignments. This method is based on the law of comparative judgement (L.L. Thurstone, 1927), which holds that people are far more reliable when comparing one thing with another than when making absolute judgements without any comparison.
