Bio:
I've been working in the digital education arena at the University of Michigan-Dearborn since 1999, when I was a sophomore student there. I helped create the courses for the university's first online degree program (Master of Education in Special Education) and have been involved in many related tasks since then. I am now the primary Canvas administrator for our campus, and oversee most other integrated tools as well. As of September 2023, I am a Canvas Certified Technical Admin.

Hi @btk, I can confirm what @james_whalley said.  I'm a Canvas admin, and I have a couple redirect tools setup at an account/subaccount level so all courses in the account/subaccount have the specific...

Hi @ohmag, Unfortunately, that wouldn't really be a function that you could do purely with LTI as far as I know.  You'd need to use the Canvas Files API, likely through a Developer API Key / oAuth2 fl...

Hi @astudent4461, I'd recommend talking to your teacher about this.  From the screenshot you shared, I can see that what you have on your screen really isn't something built into Canvas, but is some k...
