Introduction

The Meshed Platform can be integrated with Canvas – a popular cloud-based Learning Management System that makes teaching and learning easier.

The interchange of data between the Meshed Platform and Canvas eliminates the need to double handle data.

The integration of Canvas with the Meshed Platform allows for:

• Creation of Canvas user accounts when Students enrol in a course in the Meshed Platform.
• Mapping of the Meshed Platform subjects and units to courses in Canvas.
• Enrolment of Students to courses in Canvas when Students enrol subjects and units in the Meshed Platform.
• Integration of Student final grades from Canvas to the Meshed Platform.

The Meshed Group has developed the Canvas console automation engine which can be run at desired intervals of time (daily, every 12 hours, every 2 hours, etc) to interchange exchange data between two systems.

Notes:
While pushing subject and unit enrolment records to Canvas, custom logic can be implemented as per requirements. For example: Push only those enrolments to Canvas with a start date in the next 14 daysSome data is exchanged in real time.
