Microsoft Education LTI (Learning Tool Integration) provides an enhanced experience by integrating Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and more directly into your course. This allows you to incorporate a variety of resources, including OneDrive, SharePoint, Team Meetings, Teams, and Reflect. 

*Note: The Microsoft Education LTI is not yet available in the Illinois State University Canvas application, but will be available soon.

What is included?

• OneDrive
• Class Notebook
• Teams Meetings
• Teams
• Reflect

What is going away?

The new Microsoft Education LTI is a unified application that replaces older, separate LTI tools. To streamline this experience, the Teams classes LTI are being retired.

It is important to note that the functionality of these tools is not going away. Instead, they are being integrated directly into the new Microsoft Education LTI. This means you will still be able to create and manage class teams and schedule Teams meetings directly from your course, but you will do this through the new Microsoft Education LTI. 

New Features and Quick Tips

• Adding Files to Modules: When you add a OneDrive file directly to a canvas module via the Microsoft Education LTI, it is automatically created as an assignment with a non-zero point value, you can later change the point value to zero. For more information, please see here: Adding Files to Modules
   
• File Naming: You cannot name or rename a file directly from within the LTI. To change the file name, you must open the file and use File>Rename to change the file name from the default ( i.e. Document, Document 1, etc.).  You may also need to refresh the screen to see the updated file name in the LTI.  For more information, please see here: OneDrive File Naming

Additional Information

• Microsoft OneDrive
  • To ensure proper functionality, access your OneDrive and have at least one file stored in it before using this LTI.
  • You can also create new files directly within the LTI by clicking the PLUS (+) button in the upper-left corner.
• Class Notebook (SharePoint)
  
  • This tool creates a OneNote Class Notebook in your OneDrive and links it to your course. It relies on SharePoint, so it may take a few minutes to provision the notebook after the initial setup. 
• Teams
  
  • Gives the ability to create and sync a Microsoft Team for your course allowing communication and collaboration that is kept in sync with your course roster.
• Teams Meetings
  
  • Allows you to schedule and manage Teams meetings directly within your course. All meetings created here will automatically appear on your students' calendars.
• Reflect
  • Allows you to check in on student well-being
  • When creating a check-in, students can respond directly within your course, and their answers will only be visible to you.
