Canvas LMS Software Add-ons
Following is a list of software add-ons for the Canvas learning management system (LMS). The products listed are widely used by faculty, students, and staff in Canvas courses at Western. Many of the products listed on this page link to Instructure’s Edu App Center, a centralized hub where users can explore and install Instructure-vetted educational applications, known as Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) tools.
These products are continually being reviewed for security, privacy, accessibility, and contractual status. There is no guarantee that these products will be available in perpetuity. Although Academic Technology and User Services (ATUS) does not own all of these products, WWU Learning Systems will make a "best effort" attempt to provide support.
To request the implementation of additional software add-ons to Canvas, please view the "Software Review Process" at Software Central.
