Microsoft OneDrive LTI for Canvas is now generally available

Microsoft OneDrive LTI is now generally available for all Canvas customers. As of today, the new and improved Microsoft OneDrive LTI has rolled out to all customers and is no longer in preview. Microsoft OneDrive LTI brings the best of OneDrive and Office365 directly into Canvas. Educators can access their OneDrive files right within Canvas, add Office 365 files to modules and assignments, and grade Office 365 files in the Canvas SpeedGrader. Students can work on Office 365 cloud assignments, submit OneDrive files directly from Canvas in response to their assignments, and collaborate using Office 365 files within Canvas.

The new Microsoft OneDrive LTI has several exciting new features:

• Users can add multiple OneDrive school accounts
• Fully supports Canvas course copy
• New and improved OneDrive file picker experience
• Link or embed Office 365 files in modules and assignments
• Use Office 365 files in Canvas Collaborations
• And more!
