Canvas Update from Faye

Please see below for some important updates regarding Canvas from Faye,

2 Canvas Updates:
1. Changes coming: in mid-January, there will be a change to the editing bar in Canvas (known as the Rich Content Editor (images attached) The new version can do the same editing tasks that you are used to, but it looks different. If you want to make the switch early*, you can do so by opening up your course settings -->clicking on the feature options tab at the top -->scrolling down and enabling RCE Enhancements. The next time you edit a page, assignment, etc, you will notice that the editing bar has changed.

*Please note: the student experience will also change with this update.
