Microsoft Education Integration in Canvas

Canvas features the ability for instructors and students to create or join classroom Teams, schedule and join Teams meetings, and access OneDrive and Class Notebook, all using the Microsoft Education LTI. This integration simplifies access to Microsoft Education tools, allowing instructors and students to seamlessly add content to modules, create assignments, schedule Teams meetings, access Teams, and engage with Microsoft Education tools, all from a centralized interface with embedded functionality.

Helpful Tips

• Schedule Teams meetings within the Canvas tool, making sure to pick the correct course under Add channel. Meetings scheduled here will transfer to your class team.

• OneNote content from the previous LTI does not transfer automatically. Instructors must manually copy content from any existing Class Notebooks into the Notebook created through the new Microsoft Education LTI.
