LMS Integration
The Office 365 integration in Canvas is a useful tool that allows instructors to easily share documents or initiate collaborations from the instructor’s OneDrive account with their students in a safe and secure manner that does not affect your Canvas Storage limits.
Documents like Microsoft Narrated PowerPoints, video lecture recordings, or large PDF copies of textbooks can eat up copious amounts of storage space in your Canvas account — all instructors have a maximum amount of 1 GB of storage for their course and individual documents are limited to 500 MB. The Office 365 LTI tool can help to eliminate storage concerns and still allow an instructor to share vital course materials with their students.
Office 365 is already installed university wide as a Canvas App and is available for all instructors inside the Canvas course. Links to One Drive files can be created from within the Rich Content Editor or added as module items.
