Issue with Canvas - Class Notebook Intergration

DanielGardner

Canvas appears to have changed something this year with the intergration from Canvas to the Class Notebook using OneNote.

Last year we were able to have class notebooks linked to each course that would automatically add new students when they were enrolled into the Canvas course. This year when we log on we get the following message.

Due to service updates and security upgrades, it is no longer possible to automatically add students from your LMS as they access this notebook. 

We now recommend using Class Notebook in your LMS through the new 

Microsoft Education LTI app. 

Our technological support officer has followed these steps to add the Microsoft Education LTI app to our courses, but this seems to create a seperate Class Notebook to the one most staff have already created for this year. Is there something here we are missing or is the old 'Class Notebook' app now effectively defunct?

Hi @DanielGardner,

I do know Microsoft released a new LMS integration around 6-9 months ago, and I believe they intended to deprecate all of their previous apps. This was totally on the Microsoft side of things, nothing that Instructure/Canvas required. It's possible your school just switched to the new Microsoft integration recently, causing the issue you mentioned. I would hope that Microsoft would have tried to keep as much of the connections the same, but maybe it just wasn't possible for everything for some reason. Unfortunately, the community users here probably won't be able to do much on this one. I'd let your school's Canvas team know about the issue you're facing, as they could possibly have some support from Microsoft that they could reach out to.

I hope this info helps a bit, even though it doesn't solve your immediate problem.
