The university has been using the Canvas Learning Management System for three years. During that time, a limited number of customized tools have been added to enhance the use of Canvas and allow extended instructional functionality. While adding these tools is a fairly simple process, approving Learning Tools Interoperability standards for use in Canvas requires a significant number of steps. If you have an integration you would like to submit, now is the time to begin.
The steps include:
- The submission of a request form.
- A completion of security, profile, and FERPA documents by the vendor’s representatives.
- A completed risk analysis by the university ITS security team.
- User interface for students, instructors, and admins tested for accessibility and ADA compliance.
- After all approvals are met, the LTI is installed on a test server for Canvas to verify functionality.
- Following quality assurance testing (4-7 days), integration is installed on public version of Canvas for use.
The goal of the ITS Academic Technology team is to add Canvas LTIs as requested by instructors. Please allow 90 days to complete the request due to workflow with campus partners. When vendors are unresponsive to questions or if accessibility remediation must be completed, the time frame may extend longer than expected. Contact canvas@unl.edu with questions.
