Canvas App Center: Third-party Teaching Tools
Updated onArticleWould you like to extend the functionality of Canvas using third party teaching tools? If so, we invite you to read the guide to the Canvas App Center. You might find a tool worth installing and using in your course.
You can explore available apps inside your course and install many of them with a single click. Many tools are free, but a few require a paid subscription; others require additional installation steps like entering additional information like a consumer key, a shared secret and a configuration URL. When browsing for teaching tools, make sure to read the app descriptions for additional installation instructions.

Student Course Feedback LTI
Updated onArticleCanvas includes a Student Course Feedback login prompt for students and an LTI for students and instructors. The login prompt directs students to the LTI to submit course feedback surveys. The login prompt is only active when there is an open survey for a course in which the student is enrolled. There is a “remind me later” button to dismiss the login prompt. When the student completes all open surveys or the surveys close, the login prompt no longer appears.
The LTI is directly accessible from a “Course Feedback” link in both User Account and Course navigations. The LTI allows students to submit or verify their course feedback and instructors to check active response rates.
