ISU Canvas: Using the Roll Call Attendance Tool

The Attendance tool is an external app (LTI) that can be used for taking attendance in Canvas courses. With the Attendance tool, instructors can keep track of course attendance by taking roll electronically in online or face-to-face courses.

LMS Integrations of External Apps

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard created by the IMS Global Learning Consortium. An LTI shares content, resources, and/or other information from a third-party website with a learning management system (LMS). Its primary purpose is to connect learning systems with external services. Canvas calls these integrated platforms “external apps”.
