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.

How do I upload a student's assignment submission to a Canvas assignment when it was sent to me via email?
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
