The Microsoft Education LTI brings several Microsoft tools into a single interface inside Canvas, allowing faculty and students to access collaboration features, Meetings, OneDrive files, and Notebooks without leaving Canvas. The key apps are:
- Microsoft Teams (Classes)- Provides access to the course’s connected Microsoft Teams class, including collaboration spaces, class channels, shared files, and roster‑based syncing.
- Microsoft Teams Meetings- Enables scheduling and joining Teams Meetings directly from Canvas, including support for viewing upcoming meetings, past meeting history, and meeting recordings.
- OneDrive- Allows faculty and students to access, share, and embed OneDrive files directly within Canvas modules and course content, streamlining the workflow between Microsoft 365 storage and Canvas. https://support.ksu.edu/TDClient/30/Portal/KB/Article/1429/How-to-use-a-OneDrive-with-Canvas
- OneNote Class Notebook- Integrates Class Notebook creation and management into Canvas, giving instructors shared collaboration spaces and private student notebooks for distributing content and feedback.
In K-State Canvas, you will find the Microsoft Education link the Course Navigation menu. OneDrive is Enabled by default and Notebook and Meetings are disabled by default. Currently, we have disabled Reflect, Reading Coach, Insights, Assignments, and Copilot teaching tools until additional evaluation can be completed.
