MediaAMP

What is MediaAMP?

​Ed Discussion is a robust and scalable communications tool for your class. Students can communicate with you and their peers. Instructors and students interact by posting text comments and questions, in addition to files and other media to discussion forums.

Why should I use MediaAMP?

Students can track discussions, and help each other clarify assignments and other concepts, enabling you to jump in to correct and/or flag posts as being particularly helpful. Math equations and software code and scripts can be shared and flagged. The code snippets can be embedded to be runnable.

How do I go about getting started?

All courses under The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering can make use of Ed Discussion within their Canvas course(s). If you do not see an option for Ed Discussion on the navigation menu on the left side of your course, you need to enable it via these steps:
