Integrations
Learning Management System (LMS) integrations are the external software tools through which platforms like Canvas offer additional instructional functionality and share verifiable personal data about LMS users with external software vendors, such as Zoom or Microsoft’s OneDrive (Microsoft Education).
If you do not see the LMS integration you are looking for, please submit an IT Help Desk ticket.
