Want to bring a textbook publisher's tool into your Canvas course? Here's what you need to know before requesting one, and what we've already got set up.

LTI 1.1 vs. LTI 1.3

Publisher integrations connect to Canvas through a standard called LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability). There are two versions still in use:

LTI 1.1 is installed one course at a time. It's outdated and doesn't meet current security standards, we avoid setting up new 1.1 integrations wherever possible.
LTI 1.3 is installed once at the admin level, then made available across all of Canvas. It's more secure and is the current standard, this is what we set up for new integrations.

Requesting a New Integration

Talk with your account rep at the publisher and ask them for instructions on integrating their tool with Canvas. Forward that information to eLearning, and we'll take it from there.

Already Have It Set Up? Add It to Your Course

If a publisher is listed below, it's already configured at 1.3, which means you don't need to request a new setup, just add it to your course. How you do that depends on how the tool is meant to be used:

To make a tool generally accessible throughout your course, add it to Course Navigation through your course's Settings.
To use a tool for a specific assignment, choose the external tool submission option when creating that assignment. See Canvas's guide on how to add an assignment using an external app for the steps.
