Getting Started with the Canvas and Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite

[KevinMeredith]

On June 15, 2024, the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite (LucidChart and LucidSpark) was made generally available to all Canvas LMS customers. This integration gives educators and students alike an elevated teaching and learning experience in Canvas LMS through interactive assignments, collaborative whiteboarding, and more engaging activities. For those who are interested in trying out some of the capabilities that Lucid can bring to your curriculum, we are excited to give the Community a set of videos that will help walk you through some of the basics with Lucid. These resources have been provided by our friends at Lucid, and they outline some of the basics.

To get started, we provide some step-by-step guidance on setting up the integration: 

Next, we give guidance on embedding collaborative activities within your Canvas LMS content: 

Lastly, we have a video that outlines how to create assignments with Lucid within Canvas LMS: 

For those who are curious for more information, please continue to follow the Product Blog in the Community as well as stay tuned for training resources (which will also be included in the Product Blog) provided by Lucid and Instructure.

It seems the assignment creation video is embedded under the collaboration section and vice versa. Thanks!

May we please have the Canvas Studio embed code for each of these videos or is it Instructure's (and Lucid's) preference that we refer our users to this page?

Would it be possible for a representative at Instructure and a representative at Lucid to host a Q&A webinar so that we able to ask questions in real-time?

I support @dbrace recommendation about a Q&A webinar

This looks like a fun way to promote interaction.  We are taking a look at it currently.  Does anyone know what the accessibility needs are?

@mmoore1, check out the Exciting News: New Lucid Integration Available in Canvas LMS Beta! post. Apparently Lucid's VPAT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Product_Accessibility_Template) is only available with an NDA.

@mmoore1 if you are interested in learning more about Lucid's accessibility, you can email bdavis@lucid.co and she can provide you with Lucid's VPAT and accessibility roadmap.  The NDA is no longer required for in structure customers.

@John__Lane and @dbrace Lucid and Canvas are working on putting together a Q&A session that we will share out soon.  In the meantime Lucid has several webinars coming up and open office hours.  You can review the details here.
