This feature was a closed pilot experiment. This feature is poorly documented and may not work properly.

To use Open edX course content in the Canvas LMS, you add a new app to the course and then add external tool module items.

This example relies on the use of a third-party tool. Because this tool is subject to change by its owner, the steps and illustrations provided here are intended as guidelines and not as exact procedures.

  1. In Canvas, select your course. In Settings, select Add New App.
