NameCoach is an audio name pronunciation tool integrated into Canvas that helps foster inclusion and respect across the university community. It allows faculty, staff, and students to record and share the correct pronunciation of their names and to listen to others’ recordings. By ensuring names are pronounced accurately, NameCoach supports a more welcoming classroom, meeting, and campus environment. Once recorded, a name pronunciation is automatically available across all Canvas courses and in SIS, making it easy for everyone to connect confidently and respectfully.
