slack bot

[mate_remias]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

---

Canvas could have a slack bot which can call some apis and communicate to the LTS right from groups. possible features:

- students could ask their latest results from a dm

- students could ask for a group's aggregated performance from a group

- teachers could handle attendance, grades, get notified, etc

- admins could have logs, basic settings, announcements

the list of possibilities is quite long and the possible use cases are great
