Prospective Tool Review: Harmonize for Canvas Discussion Board
The FSCJ EdTech team is constantly on the lookout for the latest tools that may benefit our FSCJ community. We recently met with a representative from Harmonize, a Canvas partner that specializes in discussion boards “to create an interactive space for dynamic academic discussion, creative and analytical thinking, and in-depth feedback that drives next-level education.” Harmonize integrates with the Canvas discussion board, updating its look and providing features that are not currently available through Canvas.
The Turnitin Plagiarism Framework is Now Available in your Canvas Course
