CASE STUDY

Four systems, one dashboard: reporting inside Canvas for Engineers Australia

CHALLENGE

Team leaders were exporting data from four separate systems, and stitching spreadsheets together, to answer one question about learner progress.

SOLUTION

A Canvas LTI dashboard that brings the data to them: live views of progress, completion and engagement, inside the platform staff already use every day.

RESULT

Reporting that took days of exports now takes minutes, and decisions are made on current data rather than last month's.

Common questions

What is an LTI app?+−

LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is the standard that lets external tools run inside Canvas as if they were built in. Dashboards, custom tools and integrations appear in your Canvas navigation, with no separate logins and no exporting between systems.

Will it work with our Canvas instance?+−

Yes. We build to LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage, which work with cloud and self-hosted Canvas. Your admin installs the app with a developer key, and we test everything in a sandbox before it goes anywhere near production.

Can an LTI app pull data from our other systems?+−

That is the classic use case. Our reporting dashboard for Engineers Australia combines live data from four separate systems into one view inside Canvas: APIs do the work behind the scenes, LTI puts the result where staff already are.

What does a custom LTI app cost?+−

It depends on scope, so we quote a fixed price up front after a discovery call, no surprises mid-project. A focused single-purpose tool is a much smaller build than a multi-system dashboard.

Who hosts and maintains the app afterwards?+−

Your choice. We can host, monitor and support it end to end, or hand over the source code and documentation to your team. Either way, you own the source.
