About this extension
Syft Notes for Canvas copies your Canvas courses into Syft Notes, so what's due, your assignments and feedback, modules, files and announcements sit right next to your lecture notes.
It works with Syft Notes, a free app for Mac and Windows that records your lectures and turns them into study notes on your own computer. The extension does nothing without the app. Get it at https://syftnotes.com
WHAT IT BRINGS IN
• Everything due across your classes, on one calendar
• Each assignment's instructions and rubric
• Your submissions and your instructor's feedback
• Modules, pages, files and announcements
HOW TO CONNECT IT
1. Add it from Syft Notes when you connect your classes.
2. Click Allow when your browser asks.
3. Sign in to Canvas if you aren't already.
Canvas then syncs about once an hour while your browser is open.
WHAT IT DOES AND DOESN'T DO
• It only reads. Nothing on Canvas is changed, submitted or handed in.
• It uses the Canvas sign-in you already have. It never sees your password.
• To find your school, it checks which Canvas sites you're signed in to. It never reads or copies your sign-in itself.
• What it reads goes to Syft Notes on your own computer, and nowhere else. No analytics, no ads, nothing sent to us.
