We are a non institution edtech company that does not have institution credentials to generate API dev keys. How do we activate a testbed to implement the LMS APIs?
Hi @sagaxai,
You'll likely want to look into becoming an Instructure Partner. Depending on the partner level you select, you can get access to a Canvas sandbox instance to do all of your app testing. Please note that this is not a free program, so you'll have to decide if it's worth it to you to invest in.
The only other option at his point would be to try to find a school that would partner with you and give you some access to their Canvas instance, but I think you may have a very tough time doing that because of the level of access you'd need and the data that would be exposed to you by granting that access. Speaking as an institution Canvas Admin myself, I can tell you that my institution does not allow this kind of access to any external partners, as it's just too risky.
Hopefully this info helps!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion.

Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
