How it works
Scaffold lives inside the Canvas editor your team already uses. There is nothing to export, no plugins for students, and no code at any step.
Open the Scaffold toolbar on any Canvas page and choose from the library: accordions, tabs, timelines, knowledge checks, and more.
Add your text, images, and media straight into the block, right in the editor you already know. Your brand is applied automatically.
Save the page. It publishes clean, accessible, and on-brand, with nothing for students to install and nothing to maintain.
Features
Scaffold gives your team the blocks and controls Canvas leaves out, so courses feel intentional and learners stay engaged, without touching code.
Drop in accordions, tabs, flip cards, timelines and more — accessible and on-brand out of the box.
Turn a blank Canvas course into a polished, structured home page in a few clicks.
Set account-level rules once so every course inherits your institution's standards.
In-editor guidance and AI quality checks that catch issues before you publish.
Carry a course into a new term — dates, links and structure — in an afternoon, not a week.
See readiness and consistency across every course from one dashboard.
Scaffold blocks
Scaffold is where your team builds rich, interactive Canvas pages from a shared library. Pick a block, add your content, and publish. It behaves like a native part of Canvas, because it is.
Block library
Every block is built to Canvas accessibility standards and matches your brand automatically. Add one to a page, author your content into it, and it just works.
On YouTube
Tutorials, build-alongs, and behind-the-scenes breakdowns from the Curio design team. Learn from real course builds and the decisions that turn a good course into a great one.
Customer voices
From individual course designers to institution-wide learning teams.
“Scaffold changed how our whole team builds in Canvas. The block library alone saves us days on every unit.”
“Our courses finally look like us, not like default Canvas.”
“The Advisor caught issues we would have shipped. It is like having a QA reviewer on every course.”
“Rollover used to take a week. Now it takes an afternoon.”
Built to be trusted
Scaffold is built for the people who have to answer for quality, compliance, and data, not just the look of a course.
Every block targets WCAG 2.1 AA, and the Advisor generates ACR/VPAT conformance reports you can hand straight to procurement.
Scaffold stores course configuration and anonymised analytics only, never learner data or Canvas course content. Analytics are keyed to an anonymous session, never a student.
Blueprint rules, multi-course audits, and per-scope branding keep quality consistent from a single course to a whole account.
