Approved for Wide Use

These are tools/platforms that have been approved for university-wide use as of January 2020. Your school or department may have additional tools that are not listed here.

Some tools can be integrated with Canvas while others cannot. When used in Canvas, these tools are referred to as Apps; they may also be referred to as LTI tools because they adhere to the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard.

Approved for Pilot/Limited Use

These are tools/platforms that have been approved for use within a limited context. For instance, a few courses may be piloting a tool so that instructors and their students can fully experience what the tool has to offer. Feedback from piloteers will help to determine whether the tool will be adopted for use across the university.
