Actively engage students with media content!

Get Started! Watch Video

Upload Media

Upload videos, images and PDFs. Instructors can then organize media into playlists or assign them to specific student groups.

Draw or Flag Annotations

Students can flag important points in a video or draw around key features in an image to start a conversation.

Discuss and Engage

CLAS creates a collaborative space by allowing students to share their annotations, creating opportunities for peer review and instructor feedback.

Learn and Gain Insight

Learners are able to assess their level of understanding by comparing their own annotations against those of their peers.

Dissecting specimens virtually to support active student learning

CLAS can serve as an excellent tool for replicating the interactions of in-person learning.

Deepening Student Understanding with Community Learning

Students develop a community feeling by working in small groups, apply what they are learning in other components of the course and discuss these activities with their partner.

Adding Another Dimension to Biology Lab Demonstrations

CLAS helps build group interactions, promote discussion and provide students with some experiences that were comparable to observation of material in an in-person lab setting.

Mini-Teaching by Teacher-Candidates

CLAS allows you to have a discussion which is very purposeful and to the point. I find that it not only saves time, but also makes it much more meaningful.

Linking Language in Math Practice

Videos of instructors solving mathematical problems on CLAS were annotated by students, allowing them to build the link between language use and mathematical practice.
