Questions

Before you connect.

Which Canvas sites does it work with?

Canvas at canvas.yourschool.edu, instructure.com or self-hosted all work. Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace and Google Classroom are not Canvas, so unsupported.

More in Support

Is there an LTI app to install?

No. Scholarwire for Canvas reuses your existing Canvas session, the way any page load does. There is no LTI app to install and no administrator involved.

More in Support

How current is the feed?

The in-app calendar updates every sync. A subscribed calendar app refreshes on its own schedule, sometimes hours behind, set by Google, Apple or Outlook.

What is on the feed?

Only calendar items for the layers you turn on: each one's title, date, time, course, location, description and link back to Canvas. No grades, notes or submissions.
