LMS IntegrationLTICanvassetupIT

For Canvas integration, Thinking Mode requires a Canvas admin to complete the following steps. It allows teachers and students to log in to Thinking Mode through Canvas using the LTI 1.3 standard. It also allows teachers to post Thinking Mode files and transcripts back to the LMS as submissions in the relevant Canvas assignment.

We are happy to assist with this process. If you have any questions or would like guidance through the installation, please email: support@thinkingmode.com
