Canvas LMS: Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)


Note: The process for adding new LTI integrations to UW Canvas is on hold until March 31, 2025. Requests made between November 25, 2024 and March 31, 2025 will be placed on hold until April 2025 to allow for updates to UW-IT’s intake process for these tools. Requests made prior to November 25, 2024 are still underway, and the team will continue to help update Canvas LTI integrations that have already been approved and installed before this time.

Canvas supports LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability®), an IMS standard that makes it possible to integrate third-party or vendor tools with your Canvas course, or enhance the course with other Web applications and Internet resources.

Canvas App Center Allow List

The Canvas App Center offers a set of external tools that integrate via LTI which have been reviewed and approved by UW-IT for use in your courses. The App Center makes it easy to add these vetted tools to your course. Learn more about the Canvas App Center.

LMS Vendor Integration Program

Many vendors and publishers provide online learning activities and tools that integrate with Canvas via LTI. The table below provides the list of vendor tools that have been configured and made available in Canvas. The table lists the tools, where the tool is currently available, and who to contact for assistance with the tool. 

If the tool you would like to adopt is listed, the vendor is already enrolled in the vendor integration program. This means the vendor has worked with UW-IT Teaching & Learning Systems and completed the necessary data security and privacy documents. These tools are already available for use in the indicated areas of Canvas.

If you do not see a vendor in the table above, you can request that they be added. Learn more about the process for vendor integration.
