Lucid

What is Lucid?

LucidLucidchart and Lucidspark are powerful, user-friendly visual collaboration tools that help faculty enhance communication, planning, and instruction. Lucidchart is ideal for creating flowcharts, diagrams, and concept maps to clarify complex ideas and illustrate systems or processes—perfect for both curriculum development and student-facing materials. Lucidspark, on the other hand, offers a virtual whiteboard environment designed for brainstorming, interactive lessons, and team collaboration in real time. Together, these tools support innovative teaching strategies, active learning, and efficient team coordination. Lucidchart and Lucidspark are integrated within Canvas.

In the EdTech Express session below, SJR State's Instructional Support Services team provides an inntroduction.
