Guide to add the SensusAccess form to Canvas

  1. There are two ways to configure the SensusAccess LTI tool to Canvas i.e. just for a course or for all courses in the Canvas instance.

  2. To configure for all courses in the system, click on the Admin link and click on the account. Go to the Account Settings page (On the left submenu it is the last item).

  3. To configure for a course, navigate to the course where the SensusAccess form will be embedded. Go to the course Settings page (On the left submenu it is the last item).

  4. Go to the Apps tab and click on the View App Configurations button on the top right side. The form is similar in both All courses level or for a course level configuration.

  5. In the External Apps menu click on the + App button on the top right side.

  6. In the Add App modal under the Configuration Type select By URL, then add your desired name such as SensusAccess, insert the Consumer Key, Shared Secret and Config URL that is associated with this specific Canvas website from your SensusAccess LTI account. Note: if your Canvas website is running under a secure https connection please make sure to copy the Secure Tool URL https://lti.sensusaccess.com/Home/HttpsCartridge for the Config URL. If you want the tool to hide for all courses by default and the teachers would like to enable the tool for particular courses, you could use URL as https://lti.sensusaccess.com/Home/HttpsCartridge/1
