If you are an instructional designer at a small private university, and there are four or less instructional designers at the institution, who manages your LTIs (TurnItIn, etc.)? Do you, or does the IT department?
I am the only Instructional Designer in our department. We have an LMS administrator that takes care of the heavy-lifting of Canvas. She takes care of all the courses, student enrollment, LTIs, etc.
I am the only instructional designer at a small community college, I am also the LMS administrator. I work out of the Office of Online Learning. In our office we also have an instructional assistant. The LTI's go through us.
Hi @jaimie_admin,
I know that you are looking for the perspective of a small private university but I work at a relatively small public two-year community college. I am the main system administrator for Canvas (and a few other systems that we oversee) and work in our Department of Online Learning. I am the main person for fielding technical support issues that arise with Canvas and assist with unstructured (in the moment requests that are not actually "problems") and some structured training opportunities that we have. We also have one instructional designer who is the primary trainer for my Department's sponsored opportunities and leads our Canvas (and online learning) certification process (along with other badges that we offer).
My Department (primary myself) manages our LTIs (a large percentage of them are associated with textbook publishers) but we collaboration with other areas of the institution if they are the area that oversees something: As examples:
In short, it is a team effort because of who is responsible for the resource that is external to Canvas. I hope that you find those examples helpful.

We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
