Adding External Apps

Canvas LMS utilizes external apps (also called LTIs or EduApps) to extend its core functionality. These integrations allow instructors to add interactive content, manage grades, and facilitate communication directly within the platform. External Apps can be configured in individual courses, or for all courses in an account. Many apps are available to use for free while others require a paid account or subscription. In most cases, a Consumer Key and Shared Secret are required to configure the app.

Some examples of external apps are

Zoom Workplace
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft 365 / OneDrive
Google Workspace
Quizlet
Publisher materials such as McGraw-Hill or Pearson
Turnitin
