LMS Integration

Currently, we offer Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) integrations with Canvas and Blackboard and most Learning Management Systems.

We offer two variations of LTI Integrations:

  • Simple LTI Integration offers a seamless connection from our course site into your Learning Management System (LMS) course shell. If set up, the final grade will transfer into your LMS gradebook at the end of the semester when all coursework is completed, or the gradebook has been closed out by the instructor.

  • Deep Link LTI Integration, provides enhanced features, such as a grade syncing and a detailed course table of contents within in your LMS. Below is the FAQ page that provides more detailed information on each integration type to help you decide which option will work best for you.

Regardless of the integration option you select, students will register their codes and will have immediate access to the course content and course work within the LMS course shell.
