External Tools

Approved external tools (third party software) can be added to Canvas to add new features or functionality, such as publisher materials and specialized tools. The VCCS has a process for colleges to use to request and evaluate a tool for integration with Canvas.

These integrations usually use LTI (Learning Tool Interoperability) to connect these tools to Canvas.

Approved external tools and support information

Below is the current list of external tools that have been reviewed and approved for use in Canvas in our colleges.

If you have a link in your Canvas course to one of the tools below, and you have a question on how to use the product, please contact the vendor for support.

This process owes much to the model developed by Colorado State University.
