LMS Integration

LMS-Integrated Assessment Grading for Higher Education

Connect Assign2 to Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, or Blackboard via LTI. Students and instructors access assessments through familiar LMS workflows, with automatic roster sync and direct grade passback — no CSV exports or manual grade entry.

Assign2 works inside your existing LMS, not alongside it

LMS administrators configure the Assign2 LTI integration once. After that, instructors launch Assign2 directly from their course in Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, or Blackboard — without separate logins, manual roster uploads, or grade CSV exports.

Student enrolment syncs automatically when a course is linked. Grades from paper exams, handwritten assignments, multiple-choice grading, and online quizzes all pass back to the LMS gradebook as soon as the instructor publishes results.

Assign2 supports LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 and has been tested with all major LMS platforms used in higher education. The integration is typically completed by your LMS administrator in under an hour.

Supported LMS platforms

Canvas, Brightspace (D2L), Moodle, and Blackboard. LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 are both supported. Contact us if your institution uses a different platform.

How LMS integration works with Assign2

1

Admin configures the LTI tool

Your LMS administrator installs Assign2 as an LTI external tool. Setup takes approximately 30–60 minutes and only needs to happen once.

2

Instructors link their course

Instructors add Assign2 to their course module. Student enrolment syncs automatically — no manual roster upload required.

3

Students and graders use one login

Students access assessments directly from the LMS course page. Instructors and TAs launch the grading interface through the same link — no separate Assign2 account needed.

4

Grades pass back automatically

When grading is published, scores appear in the LMS gradebook automatically. Students see their results and feedback without leaving the LMS.

What LMS integration delivers for your institution

Single sign-on for everyone

Students and instructors authenticate through the LMS. No separate Assign2 credentials to manage, reset, or provision.

Automatic roster sync

Course enrolments sync from the LMS when the course is linked. Late enrolments and drops are handled automatically without manual intervention.

Direct grade passback

Published grades appear in the LMS gradebook immediately. No CSV files, no manual entry, and no risk of transcription errors.

Works with all assessment types

Paper exams, handwritten assignments, online quizzes, multiple-choice, and coding assignments all integrate through the same LTI connection.

Low IT overhead

Configure once, reuse everywhere. LTI tools are available institution-wide once installed. No per-course IT involvement after initial setup.

Familiar student experience

Students submit, view feedback, and receive grades entirely within their existing LMS interface — no new platform to learn.

Common questions

Who sets up the LMS integration?

The initial LTI configuration is performed by your LMS administrator or IT department. It typically takes 30–60 minutes. After setup, instructors can activate Assign2 for their courses independently without IT involvement.

Does Assign2 support LTI 1.3 (Advantage)?

Yes. Assign2 supports both LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 (LTI Advantage), including Names and Roles Provisioning Service and Assignment and Grade Services for grade passback. Contact us for the specific configuration documentation for your LMS.

What if our institution uses a different LMS?

Assign2 can integrate with any LMS that supports the LTI standard. Contact us at LMS Integration Assistance to confirm compatibility with your platform.

Can we trial the LMS integration before committing?

Yes. We can set up a sandbox configuration for your LMS administrators to test before a department or institution-wide rollout. Book a demo to discuss the trial process.
