The Canvas@Tufts App Center shows a collection of tools that have been pre-approved by Tufts for use with your Canvas course. To install one of these apps, follow these instructions: How do I use the Canvas App Center in a course?

Some apps require additional information before they can be added to your course (such as a "consumer key"). Contact [email protected] with your course name and number and the name of the app you are attempting to install.

Many educational software tools can be integrated with Canvas; however, not all are listed in our App Center. Instructors and departmental staff can request that any new app be installed in a course (or multiple courses). However, apps that are not listed in the App Center must be vetted to see if they meet Tufts' security and accessibility standards.

The request and approval process is as follows:

1. An instructor or staff member requests a new app installation by emailing [email protected].
2. An Educational Technology Specialist from ETS will contact the requestor to discuss the request and gather more information.
3. If there are existing tools integrated with Canvas that meet the same needs, the Educational Technology Specialist will suggest these to the requestor and assist with setup.
4. Otherwise, ETS will facilitate a Technology Review. The review includes an analysis of information security practices, accessibility, and any user agreements or contractual terms. It involves several groups within TTS, including Enterprise Architecture, Information Security and the IT License and Contract Manager.
5. After the Technology Review is complete, ETS will contact the requestor to discuss the results of the review. If the results are satisfactory, the app will be installed in the requestor's course site or sub-account.
