Canvas LTI Apps

Canvas supports LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability®), a technology standard that makes it possible to integrate third-party tools within your Canvas course, as well as enhance your course with a Web applications and resources. Many vendors and publishers provide online learning activities and tools that integrate with Canvas via LTI. 

USF Approved and Vetted LTIs

The table below provides the list of vendor tools that are already configured and are available in USF Canvas or have been requested and are in the process of being vetted for security and privacy. Some of these tools are installed and available in all Canvas courses, while some may only be configurable in certain courses, as they were requested by an individual user or department. 

If you would like to configure and use a particular LTI that does not appear on the list, please complete the university Technology Request Acquisition (TAR) form. Please note once the form is received by the ITS security department, the approval process may take up to 30 days for approval.
