Use a Canvas LTI-link in your assignment

If you want to set up the integration for an assignment, you will need an LTI-link. This LTI link is generated from Canvas. Linking your assignment will allow your students to open the assignment through your LMS. Once the assignment has finished, you are also able to send the marks from within Ans. 

error_outline You cannot set up an LTI coupling after taking the exam. The participants need to log in through the LMS to finalise the coupling. That way, Ans knows which result in Ans belongs to which student in the LMS. 

Create a LTI-link for an assignment with LTI 1.3

To create a LTI-link for an assignment, follow the steps below.

  1. Set up the Canvas integration on school level in Ans.
  2. Sign in to Canvas.
  3. Click Courses in the menu on the left.
  4. Click on your course or use the search bar.
  5. Click Assignments in the menu on the left.
  6. Click + Assignment.

You can add the tool in a module or as an assignment. Grades are only synchronised if it has been added as an assignment. That is why we add it here as an assignment.
