Microsoft Education for Students

On Sept. 15, 2025, Microsoft Education will sunset OneDrive, Microsoft Teams classes, and Class Notebook OLD Canvas plugins. If you are currently using these plugins, there will not be any impact on you or your students. 

Starting Sept. 8 th, we enabled the NEW plugin Microsoft Education includes OneDrive, Class Notebook, Teams (Collaborations, OneDrive, Classes), and Team Meetings. These changes aim to streamline the Microsoft plugin experiences for users in Canvas by consolidating the capabilities of multiple plugin tools into fewer, more functional options.

You will need to enable the tools by logging into Microsoft Education within the course.

OneDrive

The Microsoft OneDrive integration brings Word, PowerPoint, Excel viewers and editors, along with PDF, OneDrive video, and images, directly into your Canvas workflows that include:

• Easy access to files stored in your Microsoft 365 account
• Students can edit and submit documents as part of Canvas assignments 
• Use collaborative documents for individuals and groups

Class Notebook

Your instructor can create a Class Notebook to share and link to their course for easy discovery and access. Class Notebooks create a private space for each student's content, visible only to the course instructor. Instructors can easily distribute Notebook Pages with course content to their class.

Notebook Pages can be used for note-taking, journaling, inking for writing, drawing, and are great for math, music, and art, or anytime there is a need to organize and collaborate on content with other students.

Existing and new students enrolled in a Canvas course can access the Notebook automatically without the instructor having to add them.
