Canvas Reddit integration

[chasedimarco]

Does anyone have experience or know if it is possible to integrate Canvas and Reddit?  Is there any manner in which to automatically post in-course discussions to a sub-Reddit page? As I hope to have several courses with a similar theme, I would love for a cross-talk of learners between the different courses in the hopes that they can also teach each other. I imagine one easy way would be through a Reddit page (which our group has) for  a common hub of communication. I wasn't sure if there was a way to link that to our course, especially as they require different log-in information. It would be nice if, like Twitter and Facebook, posting in one location automatically posted in the second location.

 @chasedimarco , welcome to the Community! I'll be honest that I'm not that familiar with Reddit or how it works, but I was wondering if something like this - Blog Labels + Inoreader + Redirect Tool = Canvas Magic! - using the Redirect Tool would work. What this would do is add a link on the left hand side of your course to the URL of your choice. You could make it the same URL for all of your courses.

Hope this helps!

To be honest, I am not familiar enough with it myself. This may work. I'll have to play around with it when things get closer to that stage. Just planning ahead right now and trying to see what options exist so I can create the content around those functions. Thx!

Hi  @chasedimarco ,

This is an interesting question and I wonder if you could achieve it (at least in part) using the Canvas APIs. On that note I have shared this with the https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/canvas-developers?sr=search&searchId=84c1ab68-e30a-42b6-8da3-...‌ group. Hopefully someone in there may be able to let you know their thoughts on whether you could achieve this with some in-house development.

Hope that helps!
