Note: Until otherwise stated, access to DesignPLUS is only granted after completing a training with ITDS.
Access to the DesignPLUS Toolset will grant you access to additional tools beyond the rich content editor. Below, you can find guides and resources on how to best utilize these extra tools!
Multi-Tool
The Multi-Tool is a course-level LTI that helps you set up a course shell quickly and efficiently. The Multi-Tool consists of three separate tools: (1) a template page creator, (2) a module builder, and (3) a due date modifier.
Upload/Embed Image Tool
The Upload/Embed Image Tool is a rich content editor LTI that allows you to upload, crop, and embed images for your course directly within Canvas.
Language Accent Characters
The Language Accent tool can help easily add language accent characters to pages, announcements, assignments, quizzes, and discussions as well as help students learn the keyboard shortcuts associated with that character. The best part about this tool is that you can enable it for students to use for assignment submissions on Canvas!
Hidden Gems
The team over at CidiLabs has added features that do not have a direct interface within the Design Tools. If you’re comfortable with using the HTML editor, there are many hidden gems that can add additional layers of functionality to your course!
