Customers using the Canvas learning management system can embed content from Films On Demand directly into their courses. For more information, please refer to the Films On Demand Canvas External App Overview article.
The new app provides a rich integration between Films On Demand and your Canvas courses. Users of Canvas will now be able to embed On Demand resources directly inside their courses, without having to leave the LMS. This plugin is LTI-based and integrates directly into the standard Canvas HTML editor.
Please note that this is an LTI 1.1 integration; LTI 1.3 is not yet supported. Canvas users who started with Canvas post-2023 may not be able to integrate with LTI 1.1.
