About Who Dat?

Who Dat? is a classroom tool that helps teachers learn their students' names, faces, and basic information more quickly. It implements the Canvas API to provide users with access to their Canvas class infomation like class roster, user photos, course names, Instructor, and section numbers.

Starting a new class can make it difficult to remember every student right away. Who Dat? gives teachers a simple way to review students, practice matching names to faces, and build stronger classroom connections.

What Who Dat? Helps With

Learn Student Names

Practice connecting each student's name with their face so names become easier to remember.

Review Student Profiles

View helpful student details in one place, such as names, photos, and short personal notes.

Build Classroom Connection

Remembering names helps students feel seen, welcomed, and valued in the classroom.

How It Works

Add students to your class. Input you class details and the Canvas API will retrive your class infomation.
Upload or view student photos. Allows for users to upload photo while also setting Canvas user photos as default.
Practice with name-matching activities. Test yourself by matching students to their correct names.
Review until names stick. Revisit student profiles and activities whenever you need a refresher.

Why It Matters

Learning student names is one of the simplest ways a teacher can create a more personal and respectful classroom environment. When students know their teacher recognizes them, they are more likely to feel comfortable participating, asking questions, and engaging with the class.
