External Apps (LTIs) in ISU Canvas

Description

This article provides instructions on how to request a new external app (LTI) in ISU Canvas.
 
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".

Review Process

  • Each request will be reviewed based on risk, accessibility, support, and impact on ISU systems. If an external app doesn't meet ISU expectations in any one of these areas, the request will be rejected.
