Software Integrations
Kaltura
Kaltura provides UW-Parkside users with the ability to upload and manage their own media files (e.g., audio, video). All of the media users create is stored through their very own My Media account. Media sharing is easier than ever before, since Kaltura is fully integrated with Canvas. Create and/or share videos within your Canvas course, or create them separately and add them to your course as you see fit.
Textbook Integration
Canvas can be integrated with a number of different textbook publishing companies. Currently, Parkside's Canvas has a complete integration with: Pearson MyLab, Macmillan LaunchPad, Cengage Learning, McGraw Hill Campus, Norton, and Wiley.
All external applications are reviewed and vetted by UWSA before they are approved for integration with Canvas. Click on the link below to view all approved integrations:
Canvas Apps
Canvas can be integrated with countless third party apps such as LinkedIn Learning, Honorlock, Turnitin, and many more.
Email servicedesk@uwp.edu for information on available Canvas External Tools.
Turnitin
Turnitin is a plagiarism checker that is integrated with UW-Parkside's Canvas. When Turnitin is enabled on an online submission, an originality report will be generated to help the instructor search a submission for plagiarism. Not only is Turnitin a plagiarism checker, but it also allows instructors to provide feedback on student submissions right in Canvas, as opposed to instructors needing to download each individual submission.
Honorlock
Honorlock is available for faculty to use in their Canvas courses to protect against cheating during online quizzes and exams. Honorlock is a proctoring software that is integrated with Canvas that locks down browsers and monitors students during an online exam. Faculty can choose to activate Honorlock for any online exam or quiz in Canvas.
