Embedding: What is LTI?
To embed library resources in MyCanvas pages, LTI (Learning Technology Integration) is needed. LTI allows for the seamless integration of Library resources into MyCanvas courses and assignments and is easy to use!
The LTI External Tool option makes it easy to search, select and add content directly from within MyCanvas. The advantage of this method is that users will be able to read/view external resources without leaving MyCanvas, and they will not be prompted to authenticate.
The following Library collections can be embedded in MyCanvas (links below take you to instructions):
- Research Guides: embed boxes, pages, guides and databases
- Films on Demand: embed or link to online videos
- ProQuest: embed or link to articles and journals
- Academic Video Online (AVON): embed or link to online videos
And you can also embed the Library homepage!
Guidance for how to embed the above resources is included in this guide but if you need assistance with using the tool, contact the Faculty Liaison Librarian for your subject area!
