Connect Canvas in AnySchool
Follow Clever’s Connecting your learning applications and LMS with AnySchool guide. Open the link in Josh’s email, choose Canvas, and create the LMS Connect developer key when Clever asks. This is a new Canvas developer key. Do not reuse the key from Connect your SIS. That key is only for Canvas sign-in. To add the Type the Word launch link in Canvas, follow Clever’s LTI SSO for LMS Connect.Wait for record matching
Clever matches Canvas users to the AnySchool roster. That usually takes 2–3 days. You will receive an email when matching is complete. You can generate LTI 1.3 links for Type the Word while you wait. Those launches do not work until the matching email arrives.Setup complete
Canvas setup is complete when the matching email arrives and a teacher can launch Type the Word from Canvas. Continue with teacher setup.Troubleshooting
- The invite expired: Email josh@typetheword.com for a new LMS Connect link.
- Logins fail after setup: Wait for the matching-complete email before teachers and students launch from Canvas.
