There are a lot of useful tools that
integrate into Canvas, including many types of
courseware (such as MyAccountingLab or
Cengage). These can vary in size and
complexity, from offering a way to present
interactive videos to hosting the entirety of
a course curriculum, including quizzes and
activities.
There are a few steps to take when
integrating these tools, and sometimes these
steps can take a long time to process
depending on the complexity of the tool, who
the vendor is, and if there are any costs to
students.
Fill out the Request to Integrate
an
LTI Tool in Canvas
Filling out this form is the first step in the process because it
indicates to eLearning Canvas Admins and
the Technology Coordinator that there is a
request to integrate. It asks many
questions that will help us to process
these steps more easily. Try to answer
them as best you can, even if you are not
sure what the answers are.
After this step, eLearning will
reach out to the vendor and start working
on an LMS Access Agreement, which is an
essential part of protecting our student
data. One important question in the form
is whether or not you know of a
representative from the vendor. During
this step, contacting a representative
from the vendor will help move this LMS
Access Agreement along much faster than
contacting a general help line.
Determine if there is a cost to
students
If there is a cost to students,
you will need to also go through the
Follet Bookstore Inclusive Access process.
The best way to start that is by
navigating to the Follet Discover link in
the left hand navigational menu in
Canvas.
If you have any other questions
about the Follett Bookstore Incusive Access
process, please read the Follett Discover help
doc.
Determine if there is a cost to the
institution
If this is a tool that does not have
a cost to students, but that will have a cost
to your department, make sure to talk to your
department leadership about whether or not
those costs can be covered.
