Learn how to integrate Edugator with your Canvas organization.

Introduction

This guide covers how to add Edugator as an external LTI tool within your organization/university. If you are looking to link your Edugator course to your Canvas course as an instructor, see Using Edugator in your Canvas Course.

Note: You must be an admin within your Canvas organization to add Edugator as an external tool. If you are not an admin, send this page to your organization's Canvas admin / IT department.

Installing Edugator as an External Tool

Currently, Edugator supports manual key configurations for integrating with Canvas. Thus, you will be able to customize where Edugator links display in Canvas.

Manual integration steps:

  1. Click Admin on the left-most navigation in Canvas
  2. Click the Organization you'd like to add Edugator to
    3. Canvas Organization Select
  3. Click Developer Keys in the left navigation
  4. Click + Developer Key
  5. Click + LTI Key
    6. Canvas Developer Key Form
  6. Enter the following:
    • Key Name: Edugator
    • Owner Email: edugatorlabs@gmail.com
  7. Select Enter URL in the Method dropdown and enter https://edugator.app/lti.json
    8. Canvas Developer Key Form
  8. Click Save

Note: To make manual overrides such as the external tool's placement in a course, edit the Developer Key, select Manual Entry in the Method Dropdown, and alter the configuration as needed.

Once you have added Edugator as an external tool, ensure the State is changed to ON.

Email the Client ID (found under Details, ex. 10000000000001) and your Canvas Host URL (ex. ufl.instructure.com) to edugatorlabs@gmail.com.

Note: You can continue with the installation, but Instructors will not be able to access Edugator until we receive your Client ID and Canvas Host URL.
