Publishing Padlet in your Canvas course

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.
