With LTI Advantage (LTI 1.3) you can use Dynamic Registration to connect GMetrix to Canvas.


Once connected, you can assign GMetrix Courses and Practice Exams to your assignments with Canvas. You'll be able to see scores and progress, and learners will be able to access assigned Courses and Practice Exams, directly within Canvas.
