Who can do this?
👤 The Kami integration can be installed by Canvas users with Teacher or Admin privileges.
If you have admin privileges in Canvas, you can use the automatic installation method for a quicker install and automatic updates to the tool afterward.
Finding the Kami app for installation
Kami's Canvas integration can be added to either a specific course or to all the courses within your Canvas site if you are an administrator. Browse to the Settings (1) section of your site or course, and then choose the Apps tab (2).
In the External Apps Center, there will be a search bar (3) on the right. From there, you should be able to search for Kami. Once you select Kami (4) it should take you to the details of the app.
