Benefits of using the Canvas Inbox and Conversations are below:
  • Easy to use: Connected to your main email address; can receive copies of your Canvas Conversations at the email or any Notification pathway and answer right from there. Will appear to students that the communication was all contained in Canvas
  • Purposeful: The only people who can contact you through a Canvas Conversation are those who are connected to you through a Course or a Group
  • Contacts loaded: Users attached to your Course are pre-populated in your address book
Here are some more ideas about how using Conversations can make your life easier:
  • Conversations has a simple interface for composing and includes the ability to easily create an audio or video message
