Integrating with Canvas

Setup

You will have two options when adding LTI applications to Canvas:

• Adding the application to specific courses

• Adding the application globally for the account

To add an application to specific courses, firstly you want to click on the Courses button on the menu in Canvas. To add an application globally you will have to click on the Admin button on the menu in Canvas and select the account you would like to add it for. Once you have performed one of these actions you can follow the steps below:

1. Click on Settings, then when that page loads you then want to click on Apps; this will display the External Apps page.

2. Click on the + App button and this will show a pop-up form to create a new app:

   1. Change the configuration type to By URL

3. When filling in the form fields, you will need to copy the values from AppsAnywhere and paste them into their corresponding fields on the form:

   1. Firstly you will want to navigate to Manage LTI Applications in AppsAnywhere in a new tab (see: Viewing LTI Applications) and determine which LTI application you wish to use

      

   2. You will then want to start filling in the form in Canvas by starting with the name, which can be called anything you want but should be identifiable as an AppsAnywhere LTI application

   3. The Consumer Key, Shared Secret and Config URL should be copied and pasted from Manage LTI Applications in AppsAnywhere

      

   4. Click Submit

4. The AppsAnywhere LTI application should now appear in the relevant course navigation menu(s)
