Integration with Canvas

Canvas integrates with Learning.com content using either the Canvas LMS via "Single Sign On (SSO)" or the use of the Learning.com Library App. Using the Library App teachers and students can seamlessly access Learning.com content inside their Canvas class. The steps below can be completed by an administrator for the district, or alternatively, an individual teachers can also use parts of these steps when creating a class.

*When using Learning.com content in Canvas, the Canvas student accounts will be used. There is no need to create student accounts on Learning.com in that scenario.

Setting up Single Sign On

If you have opted to include the Course Navigation placement of the Learning.com App, a link will appear in the course navigation sidebar. Clicking this link will automatically sign you in to the Learning.com platform. This provides the full Learning.com experience to teachers and students.

This method works best if you are syncing your school roster data with both Canvas and Learning.com using ClassLink or Clever. Using this method also allows users will access to the Learning.com experience.
