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

Team leaders at Engineers Australia were exporting data from four separate systems to answer one question about learner progress. Skills Leap Australia built a Canvas LTI reporting dashboard that brings the data to them, inside the platform they already use.

AT A GLANCE

CLIENT
Engineers Australia
WHAT WE BUILT
A reporting dashboard that runs inside Canvas
DATA IN ONE VIEW
Goals, skill areas, attendance and completion
RESULT
Reporting in minutes, not days
THE PROBLEM

One question, four exports.

Team leaders needed to answer one question about learner progress. To do it, they exported data from four separate systems and stitched spreadsheets together.

Reporting took days of exports, and decisions were being made on last month's data.

BEFORE: FOUR SEPARATE SYSTEMS

System 2
System 3
System 4

AFTER: ONE LIVE VIEW IN CANVAS

WHAT WE BUILT

A dashboard that brings the data to the people who need it.

We built a Canvas LTI reporting dashboard for Engineers Australia. It combines live data from the four separate systems into one view inside Canvas, the platform staff already use every day.

It shows live goals, skill areas, attendance and completion data in one place, giving team leaders live views of progress, completion and engagement.

How it works

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

For this dashboard, APIs do the work behind the scenes, and LTI puts the result where staff already are.

OUR ROLE

Skills Leap Australia built the dashboard as a custom Canvas LTI app.

Our Canvas LTI projects run in four steps, so you see and shape the tool before it is built.

1

Workshop

We workshop your pain points and agree what to build first.

2

Wireframe

You see and shape the tool before a line of code is written.

3

Build

Short iterations with your feedback at every step.

4

Handover

Documentation, training, and support that outlasts launch.

TECHNOLOGY

The standards we build Canvas LTI apps to.

Our Canvas LMS integration services are built on the standards technical evaluators check first.

  • LTI 1.3 & LTI Advantage
  • Canvas REST API
  • Security & privacy reviewed for education
  • Hosted in Australia where required

THE RESULT

4 → 1 systems consolidated
into one live view

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

“The dashboard answers in one click what used to take our team a week every term.”
