SoftChalk Integration

[annekhilton]

Is it possible to integrate lesson creation software like SoftChalk into the free version of Canvas? SoftChalk requires an administrator to add the software. I haven't found a way to add it using the external apps option with the consumer key at the course level. I don't know if we are able to act as an administrator of our own accounts?

 @annekhilton ‌ Welcome to the Canvas Community!

Administrator functionality is not available for users of Free For Teachers accounts, so integrations such as SoftChalk that require admin access cannot be used in FFT courses. Please refer to the  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-16960-canvas-account-comparisons-pdf for details on what features are available in free accounts.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I use the full version regularly and was thrilled when I found the option to try the free version for a new homeschooling adventure with my daughter. The link you provided will be very helpful for me to keep the functionality of the each version straight. Thank you!
