What is the Kami LTI 1.1 external tool integration for Canvas?
Kami has two LTI external tools (1.1 and 1.3) available for Canvas, helping your users get more out of their Canvas workflows. With this installed, you can:
- Create a Kami assignment in Canvas.
- Create auto-grading assessments using Questions AI.
- Sync grades in Kami with Canvas gradebook.
- Get real-time Insights into class performance.
- Access and auto-save files in Google Drive or OneDrive.
⚠️ The Kami LTI 1.3 is now available for Canvas. If you have not yet integrated Kami with Canvas, we recommend installing this integration instead.
Deploying the LTI 1.1 Kami external tool integration
Canvas administrators can deploy the Kami external tool integration to a specific course or to all courses within their school/domain.
You'll also receive automatic updates when a new version is released, keeping you up to date with the latest Kami tools and features.
1. In Canvas, navigate to Admin > Developer keys.
2. Select the Inherited tab, then use the search field to find Kami.
💡 If Kami doesn't appear in the results, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Show all keys button. This expands the list and makes Kami visible.
