Connect Canva to Schoology

Schoology integration experience

Canva’s Schoology integration, using LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 (recommended), makes it easy to log in to Canva from Schoology. It also lets teachers quickly embed Canva content in their Schoology pages and assignments using a clickable design picker.

Enabling Canva as a school team admin

To make sure Canva works smoothly with your learning management system (LMS), we recommend that admins get in touch with our Education team before setup. You’ll get access to free Canva Education before connecting Canva to your LMS. Get started by contacting our team.

If you're part of a larger education group, like a school district or ministry of education, we also offer features like free Single Sign-On (SSO), secure rostering, flexible permissions, and more, all for free.

Once your institution is set up with Canva Education, the next step is to connect Canva to Schoology.

First, make sure LMS integration is enabled in your Canva account. If you haven’t done this yet, check out our guide on how to connect Canva to your LMS. Then, follow the steps for setting up LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 (recommended).

Check if you’re in the right team

Before setting up the LMS integration, make sure you’re in the right team first.

  • For single schools or district Canva teams, check if you’re in the school or district team.
  • For multi-school deployment, LMS should be configured by an Organisation Admin at the Org level.

Learn how to check and switch between multiple teams.
