What you can do

  • Scenes and slides

    Available

    Organise a course into scenes and slides with a slide rail.

  • Variables

    Available

    Variables that triggers can set, adjust and test.

  • Object states

    Available

    Built-in and custom states per object, such as hover, visited and selected.

  • Slide layers

    Available

    Feedback, hints and pop-ups as layers that show or hide over the base slide.

  • Timeline and animation

    Available

    A timeline for each slide and layer that controls when objects enter and leave.

  • Masters and themes

    Available

    Slide masters and layouts with course themes for colour and type.

Honest limits

What to know before you rely on it

  • Canvas keeps authored geometry exactly. On phones the learner player keeps the slide visual and moves long text into a readable sheet.
  • Authoring is desktop-first. Phones can open projects to view, not to edit.
