The Canvas Platform team has launched the renewed and refreshed EduAppCenter.com. Which is a new public catalog of LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) integrations and 135 of applications.
The improved popular apps include: Khan Academy, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube, School Tube, Redirect Tool, Quizlet, etc.
LTI is a standard means of putting remotely hosted, third-party applications onto LMS platforms and educational portals. In other words, an open education technology ecosystem for education.
Canvas has the largest, most open LMS app ecosystem in the industry.
“An open education technology ecosystem creates more opportunities for innovation to thrive,” said Jared Stein, vice president of research and education at Instructure in a statement. “The new EduAppCenter.com website encourages startups and innovators to create apps that work across LMS providers. This means less time integrating one-off technology and more time designing tools and curriculum for new ways of learning.”
