How do I integrate Canvas assignments with Storyboard That?

Canvas Integration

Our integration with Canvas has multiple features to help make your life easier!

Getting Started

FIRST STEP: Click here to see how to Add Storyboard That as an external App in Canvas!

You must do this in order to utilize assignment integration with Canvas.

PLEASE NOTE: Any existing tool needs to be deleted and then updated first before Assignment Integration can be accessed.

Quick Login

Once the app is installed, students and teachers will see the Quick Login tool in the left hand menu. Click it to log in to your Storyboard That account!
