Add a Lucid Assignment

Follow the steps below to utilize Lucid in your course assignments. Check out our Lucid Overview article for more resources regarding using Lucid in Canvas.

1. In the Assignments option in your Course, select + Assignment on the top-right of the window to create a new assignment.
   
2. Under Submission Type activate the drop-down list and select Lucid. You can either load this tool in a new tab by checking the box under the dropdown, or leave it as an iframe.
   
3. Select the Lucid widget after specifying the submission type.
   
4. This will open up an i-frame that connects to your Lucid account. It'll prompt a login the first time, and looks like this:
   
5. From here, you can choose your layout style: Lucid Spark, a more whiteboard-style collaboration, or Lucid Chart, a more diagramming and flowchart-style collaboration. Choose and select Next.
   
6. Next, you can either create a blank workspace or choose from your library of existing Lucid documents. Select Next when done.
   
7. Selecting Blank document will populate a blank workspace, allowing students a free space to complete their assignment(s).
   
8. Selecting My Documents will allow you to choose from a library of your previously existing Lucid documents. Selecting +New will allow you to either start a new document or choose from an existing template, acting as an iframe with the capacity to choose an assignment, but not edit the document.
   
9. Once selected, the document will appear under Submission Type
10. Finally, complete your assignment parameters in Canvas, and you're ready to host your Lucid assignment for your course!
