Adding the QuaverEd app to a course #
This section is directed toward teachers and students in districts with Canvas SSO integrations with QuaverEd. Please note that your district IT administrator must first set up a Canvas SSO integration with QuaverEd.
1. Sign into your district Canvas account. This is often linked from your district’s website.
2. Navigate to the course you would like to add QuaverEd to. Then click the “+” icon in one of the modules for that course. (Note: You may have to add a module if none exist)
3. Select “External Tool” from the dropdown menu.
Configuration Type: Manual Entry
Name: QuaverEd
Privacy: Public
Consumer key, Shared secret, and Launch URL will be provided by our integrations team. They may be specific to your integration and should not be copied from another source.
Domain, custom fields, and description may be left blank unless otherwise specified by our integrations team.
4. Select QuaverEd’s app from the list. Also be sure that the “Load in a new tab” option is checked. Finally, click “Add Item” and the QuaverEd app will be accessible to students in your course.
Note: If the QuaverEd app isn’t listed then your district IT will need to add the app for teacher use.
How to Access QuaverEd from Canvas #
1. Sign into your district Canvas account. This is often linked from your district’s website.
2. Find QuaverEd’s app in your course module, then click the QuaverEd app link. If the app is not available, it may need to be added to the course by a teacher.
3. This page is essential! If this is your first time logging into QuaverEd from Canvas, you’ll likely see our Single Sign-On account provisioning page.
If we find an existing QuaverEd account associated with your email address, you will see the message seen to the right.
Select Yes, that’s my account to link to that QuaverEd account. Select No, that’s not me if you’d like to connect a different QuaverEd account.
4. If you have created a QuaverEd account before, click Link existing QuaverEd Account. This will allow you to link your Canvas account to your existing QuaverEd account.
If you do not have a QuaverEd account, click Create new QuaverEd Account.
4. Enter your QuaverEd Username and password and click LOGIN to link your Canvas account to your existing QuaverEd account.
If you have never created a QuaverEd account, click Go Back and select Create new QuaverEd Account in step 3.
5. Depending on the type of account you’re using, you will land at one of the following places:
Teacher Dashboard
If a teacher lands on their Teacher Dashboard, this will indicate that the teacher has successfully linked their QuaverEd teacher account with Canvas.
Student Dashboard
If a student lands on their Student Dashboard, this will indicate that the student has successfully linked their QuaverEd student account with Canvas.
