The DesignPLUS Toolset
DesignPLUS for Canvas, created by Cidi Labs, is a toolset designed for instructional designers to more efficiently create robust, high-quality course templates and content to deliver a better student experience. DesignPLUS includes the Content Editor Toolbox, the Multi-Tool, and the Upload/Embed Image Tool.
Montclair State University has procured a site-wide license for DesignPLUS to make it available to all faculty on campus. To receive access to the DesignPLUS toolset, please attend a DesignPLUS training session. If DesignPLUS has already been activated for your Canvas account, be sure to unhide it with the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
