Lucid

LucidChart is a powerful diagramming tool that helps you visualize complex concepts, systems, and workflows. LucidSpark, on the other hand, is a virtual whiteboard designed for teams to brainstorm, design, and develop better ideas.

With your Canvas account, you get full, free access to the Lucid Education Suite for collaborative visual work. To use Lucid within Canvas, you'll need to create and connect your free account first.

Students can embed Lucid documents in an online Text Entry assignment using the Rich Content Editor (available when responding to Assignments, Discussions or Quizzes). If you don’t have a specific Lucid assignment, you can still access Lucid through the Course Navigation link, provided your instructor hasn't disabled it.
