Design Tools (now DesignPLUS) for Canvas offers 3 super powers to teachers and instructional designers that the LMS on its own doesn’t include:

[1] Get advanced CSS/HTML results without having to be a (total) nerd. Make your Canvas course as inviting and appealing as your physical classroom. The Content Editor Toolbox is a huge improvement on / expansion of what is possible with the default Canvas editor. You can use it to easily create, customize and style content on any Content, Discussion, Assignment, and Syllabus page in Canvas.

[2] Save time and work smarter with the Multi-Tool. Scaffold a course shell. Use the template page tool to create home and template pages. Set up your module pattern and create all associated artifacts (quizzes, assignments, discussions, and pages) in one step. Manage ALL assignment dates from a single screen with the due date modifier.

[3] Upload, crop, resize, and embed images anywhere in your Canvas course. No need to use an external image editor like Photoshop when you need to work with images!

This is an indispensable screencasting tool that integrates as a Chrome plugin and easily records the webcam and screen. Videos can be downloaded or sent via a Loom link. Super user-friendly for both teachers and students!
