LTI Input/Feedback Requested

[jen]

Hi All,

My organization (a national non-profit that develops school leaders through professional development programs) is looking to extend the Canvas experience by using LTIs. We would LOVE your feedback regarding the LTIs you have used and your experience with them. Our interests fall into the following categories:

1. Online Grading with Rubrics - unfortunately, Canvas rubrics do not meet all of our rubric grading needs. We are looking for LTIs that provide outcome assessment and rubric scoring, and are less "number-centric" in their scoring, as our programs do not focus on grades, but progress to goals. Have you had experience with this type of functionality, perhaps using:

Taskstream

Turnitin

Waypoint

2. Surveys - we rely heavily on surveys and are Qualtrics users. However, we'd love to know if you've used the What Do You Think? course evaluation and survey system (and what did you think of it?).

3. Video Recording and Management - Our program participants occasionally record videos of themselves and submit them as assignments. Have you used any of the following?

Talent

Kaltura

Collaaj

Mediasite

ShareStream

4. Communications - Many of our course leaders are avid Adobe Connect/Classroom users. Do you have any experience using the Adobe Connect LTI? What has your experience been?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I like the Turnitin LTI quite a bit. It is not perfect, but improvements are rolling out; in fact, some new features go live tomorrow. The rubric designer in Turnitin works well for qualitative or quantitative rubrics. Rubrics can be saved, imported, and exported. Inline comments can be linked to a rubric criterion, and "Quickmarks" provide an excellent way to save and reuse comments. The Turnitin iPad app provides offline grading capability, and the other functions of Turnitin (originality reports and peer reviews) should not be overlooked either. For more details on the Turnitin LTI, please see my blog post here in the Canvas community: Canvas and Turnitin, and if you have any specific questions about Turnitin, please let me know. I am happy to help!

harker​ has a blog post concerning Canvas Integration with Adobe Connect​.

On the videos, Canvas has some built in media submission features that may be sufficient for the use you describe. You might test out the native features in Canvas before investing in an external tool. Here is a relevant tutorial from the Canvas guides. How do I add media to my Assignment submission? ​

I hope that helps,  @jen ​!
