What You Need to Know About the Third-Party Tool Request Process
Note: This website is updated regularly as third-party tools move through the implementation process.
In March 2021, we launched the inaugural intake process for integrating third-party tools in Canvas at the subaccount level. Academic Liaisons for every School, College, and Branch Campus submitted their top tools deemed necessary for academic instruction in their respective units. The first round of the Third-Party Tool Request Process successfully implemented 17 subaccount specific tools across the Schools, Colleges, and Branch Campuses.
At this time, we have launched the process for requesting, implementing, and supporting tools for the upcoming AY 2023 – 2024 round. The opportunity to participate in requesting third-party tools has been extended to Academic Liaisons with representation across 17 units across Texas A&M University. If you are interested in requesting a tool for consideration to be implemented in Canvas, please contact your Academic Liaison.
After the requested third-party tools have made their way through the full process and the LMS Implementation Teams review the process under the Canvas continuous improvement model, communication will follow to the campus community regarding subsequent request rounds. No changes will be made to the LMS during the semester to safeguard student data and experience.
