Hi,
We are exploring the use of Collaboration and currently we were able to use Google doc on it. I was wondering if anyone can help provide the steps to enable Microsoft 365 in Collaborations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @RyanPekson,
Microsoft based collaborations are provided through the Microsoft OneDrive LTI, and this must be configured by a Canvas admin. At a high level, your admin needs to deploy the OneDrive LTI in Canvas and ensure that collaboration is enabled for OneDrive. Once that is in place, Microsoft Office files Word Excel PowerPoint become available in the Collaborations tool alongside Google Docs.
If your institution already uses OneDrive LTI and only Google appears in Collaborations, that is almost always a configuration and LTI deployment issue at the admin level rather than a course level setting.
Hope that helps. ~ Jeff
ps. and we are exploring the newer Microsoft Education LTI. My understanding is this is now the better way as the OneDrive LTI may be sunset at some point TDB. And an important clarification that often causes confusion: If the Microsoft Education LTI is installed but OneDrive or External Collaborations are not enabled in the LTI configuration, Microsoft will not appear in Collaborations even though the integration exists. This is why institutions commonly see Google but not Microsoft until the LTI settings are finalized.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
