Publishing Padlet in your Canvas course
For Padlet to be accessible in your Canvas course, you will need to either copy a link to your padlet or embed within the course itself. For detailed instructions on embedding within your Canvas course site please visit: https://padlet.com/support/embedding_canvas
Choosing the role that fits your Padlet needs
Depending on how frequently you use Padlet, you can choose from two roles for your account:
Student role
When you create an account in Padlet, you're automatically assigned a student role. This role allows you to create up to three Padlets, which you can modify and reuse to maximize your account capabilities. If you typically use Padlet for tasks such as tracking attendance at the beginning of the term, this option may be best for you.
Instructor role
If you're interested in maximizing the full power of Padlet, you can upgrade your role to instructor. This will allow you to create four or more Padlets. To upgrade your account, submit a ticket to ODL Technical Support stating that you want to move to the instructor role, and we'll make the change.
