1. Check if you have the Blended Teaching App
To check if you have the Blended Teaching App, start in Canvas:
Click on Settings in the menu bar on the left.
Go to the tab called Apps.
Click on View App Configurations. The page will show you a list of installed Apps in alphabetical order.
If it has been installed, the Blended Teaching App will be in that list.
If it is, you can close this guide. If not, carry on to the next step.
2. Check if you can add an App
In some instances, universities instructors the power to install apps.. If so, you can install the Blended Teaching App now. If not, you will need to contact the LMS administrator for your university and let them know that you want the app installed for your course.
Here's how to check if you have the power to install the app.
In Canvas, go to the Settings tab in the Navigation Bar, usually on the left hand side of the screen.
Go to the top of the screen and click on the Apps tab.
Click the grey "View App Configurations" button.
If you see a blue button that says "+ App", then you have the power to add Blended Teaching. Carry on to the next step.
If you do not see this button, you need to contact your LMS administrator and ask them to install the Blended Teaching App for you.
3. Installing The Blended Teaching App

Start in your Control Center in Blended Teaching and navigate to the Settings page.
Scroll down on the Settings page until you find the section called Canvas Integration. Here you will see your Client ID. Click Copy.
If you can't see a Client ID in that section, just contact us through the bot and let us know you can't find your Client ID, and we'll quickly investigate and resolve it for you.
