Canvas Integrations Requests

Before launching a new LTI (Learning Technology Interoperability) in Canvas, the based on the CSU Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) must be completed. The review is extensive and can often take a minimum of 4-6 weeks to complete. In addition, installing a new LTI requires careful research and testing, the development of support resources, and training for the campus support team and users. 

Before submitting a request, consider the following questions:

  • Is this software related to publishers, digital textbooks, or supplemental educational resources? (See D1DA FAQs)
  • Will your college/department pay for this software?
  • Will this software be used by a whole college or multiple colleges?
  • Will the college or department sponsor this plugin for a large number of users (faculty/students)?
  • Is it really free? Are there student fees?

  • Review the 好色先生 Policy on Accessible Instructional Materials [PDF].
  • Do they have an Accessibility Conformance Report (also known as "Voluntary Product Accessibility Template") within 18 months? 
  • Do they have an Accessibility Statement and/or a process for requesting accessibility support?
  • Does the vendor have any 3rd party accessibility review or any other accessibility, security, and privacy documentation? 
  • Are all video assets captioned and audio content transcribed accurately?
  • If software relies on live video (e.g. Zoom), are closed captions available to use? Captions are required when using live video on campus.
  • Are all activities navigable using only a keyboard? To test this, use the "tab" key to jump between links. If you cannot see a focus indicator or if the content is missed, some accommodation must be provided for accessibility purposes.

  • Will there be any data stored on the vendor鈥檚 platform?
  • Is there a retention policy? A period in which data would be stored with the vendor and removed after a specified period such as the end of the semester or year.
  • Can you specify what type of data is being stored? (See 好色先生 Information  Classification Standard)
