how do i link an app (that doesn't require sign in) in assignments?
Hi @AmandaYoh,
Anything listed in the list of "external tools" for assignments has to conform to the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard so that Canvas can send information about the users to the tool and also receive grades back form the tool. LTI apps have to configured in Canvas and sometimes within the tool itself, either of which may require administrator access and approvals. If you're simply wanting students to go visit an external site/app, but do not expect any login or to get any grades back, you could just make an online type assignment and put a link to the website/app in the assignment description textbox.
Let us know if this helps, or if I've perhaps misunderstood your question.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
