Where do I find the Rich Content Editor ? Do I go to Carmen ?

Hello there, @KarmenPounds ...

In searching your school's website, it looks like Ohio State University has chosen to re-brand the Canvas LMS name to "Carmen".  I am basing this on the following website that you might already be familiar with:

https://carmen.osu.edu/#

So, to answer your question, yes, you would log into Carmen (which I'm assuming is the same as Canvas).  The links that Adam gave you are part of the Canvas course interface.  So, if you are an instructor and are building course content inside a Canvas course, you will do that using the Rich Content Editor (RCE).  By the same token, if you are a student, there may be times that the Rich Content Editor will be available to you as well...such as if you are responding to a discussion topic in your course(s).

• How do I access the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
• How do I add and modify text in the Rich Content Editor as a student?

Hope this helps a bit, Karmen.  Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
