District admins can configure the Amplify Learning Tools Interoperability® (LTI®) version 1.3 app in their Canvas district account to enable students and teachers to log in to Amplify programs from district configured Canvas accounts. When using Amplify Classwork, teachers can also sync grades from Amplify to Canvas.
This is available for districts upon request. If you are interested in integrating Amplify with Canvas, please contact our Customer Care & Support team.
