As an Administrator for a school or district, you can initiate the integration by connecting Wayground and Canvas with your Canvas Developer Keys. Here are the steps you can follow to do this:

Log into Canvas
Click on 'Admin' on the left navigation pane and select 'Site Admin'
Select 'Developer Keys' on the sidebar
Click on 'Developer Key' and choose the 'API Key' option
Set the Key Name
Enter the following link in the Redirect URIs field: https://wayground.com/lms/canvas/callback
Click on 'Save' to generate a key entry like this and ensure that the 'State' is set to 'On'.

The ID is the long number displayed under the 'Details' column. Click on 'Show Key' below the Client ID to display the Key.

Once these steps are complete, a representative from the Wayground onboarding team will contact you. Please e-mail them the ID and the Key.

Alternatively, you can complete the integration yourself by following these steps:

Log into your Wayground account
Click the 'Admin Controls' button located in the top left of your screen, then select 'LMS Integrations'
Here, you will see 'Canvas' as an option, and you can input the information here
This will route you to the page to input the URL, Enter Key, and Enter ID
Click on 'Submit'
On Canvas, grant access to your account by clicking on 'Authorise'. This is a one-time process
Wayground and Canvas are now in the process of syncing. You will receive an email notification when the sync is complete

Note: You do not have to be in the sync window until the sync is complete. To move from this window, click on 'Continue to Dashboard'.
