Planning & Self-Study LMS Integrations and Fall 2024 Product Update

Brand New Advanced Canvas Integration

 

We are excited to announce our brand new advanced integration with Canvas by Instructure. The new integration amplifies the best of both solutions and allows for the seamless connection of assessment results from your Learning Management System into Planning & Self-Study. Once the new integration is set up by your institution, you’ll be able to take advantage of the following enhancements:

 

  • Aggregate student performance data from multiple activities across multiple course sections to a single measure
  • Better performance for larger data sets
  • Provide leads the ability to align Canvas data based solely on Planning & Self-Study permissions
  • Filter LMS data by modality and/or student demographic information
  • Align common rubrics for General Education assessment or programmatic assessment
  • Align points based assignments or exams to measures

 

Our Support Team has created some great resources, including this article on the additional files required to be uploaded for the new integration.

 

If you have purchased Planning & Self-Study before July 2024, there is no cost to access the current integration through the remainder of your current contract. There is an additional cost to use this integration for new Planning & Self-Study customers. Current customers using any LMS integration will move to the Advanced Package upon renewal, and your Renewals Manager will determine if there is an additional cost associated with being part of the Advanced Package.

 

We offer both guided and self-service training options to implement the new integration. If you’re interested in signing up for the guided option, you can use this link to register and you will be added to the queue for training with our Client Services team.

 

Ready to get started? Please complete this interest form, and we will contact you with next steps, including how to access the self-guided option.
