The Course Evaluations & Surveys User Integration with Instructure’s Canvas LMS has several components which allow students and instructors to seamlessly pass from Canvas into their Course Evaluations & Surveys account. As you get ready to kick off another round of evaluations on which you’ll want to get students’ feedback, we recommend upgrading your Canvas User Integration to make sure everything is optimal for a great experience, and you’re ready to achieve your response rate goals!
Upgrading the Canvas User Integration to the latest version carries over all the same functionality as the original version and there are no new features with the latest version, however, fewer external apps are deployed to Canvas with this latest version, enhancing the Canvas mobile experience while making ongoing management easier and more efficient.
The following provides further details on upgrading your Canvas User Integration between Course Evaluations & Surveys and Canvas.
