New Video Creation Software
The Department of Online Learning is moving to new video creation software – Canvas Studio. TechSmith
informed us that they would be phasing out their Knowmia product. Canvas Studio has the same functionality

Knowmia.
Canvas Studio will become available for the Spring 2022 semester, and we will be offering training on this new
product prior to the opening of this semester. At the end of the Spring 2022 semester, all Knowmia videos will be
migrated into Studio. This should not affect any courses where you have the videos posted. However, Studio will
not be able to migrate in-video quizzes. Please begin making a note of where you have in-video quizzes for post
migration updates.
Beginning in Summer 2022, Knowmia will no longer be available for video production, and all video creation will
be done through Canvas Studio. Please watch the College Voice and announcements through the Center for
Online Learning for more information.
Two sessions of certification training remain for the fall semester. Please note that if you area already Canvas
