Available External Tools

External tools are an easy way to add new features to Canvas. They can be added to individual courses, or to all courses in an account. Once configured, you can link them through course modules and create assignments. Learn more about our external tool request process.

DISCLAIMER

Canvas supports the integration of external tools using  1EdTech's Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard. When an external tool is launched, some student information may be passed along to the external tool provider. The standard dictates the types of information passed and how they are passed. When integrating Canvas with external tools, all efforts are made to minimize the student data transferred and to vet the security practices of the tool vendor.

However, with the exception of official Emory IT tools such as Office 365, most 3rd party tools are not governed by Emory University’s Information Technology office. Although it is Emory’s policy to protect student privacy, please understand that Emory does not guarantee the privacy of information shared on external 3rd party applications. Information you provide may be visible to others using this application. You are not required to provide personal information. By signing in and sharing information, you imply your understanding of potential privacy risks.

Before linking directly to a publisher on your class site, please be aware Emory is required to follow federal HEOA guidelines as well as our contract with Barnes & Noble with regards to such links. Faculty are not allowed to place links on Canvas for the purpose of direct sales of textbooks and course materials to students.

Copyrighted content can only be shared using the Library Course Reserves system. This is a University requirement -- additional details can be found here.
