LTI provides a framework through which an LMS (Canvas) can send some verifiable information about a user to a third party. For LTI to work, the third party needs to provide a consumer key and shared secret that Canvas can use to generate a signature to verify the authenticity of the data sent. By default most user information is anonymized, but this can be changed when the configuration is first set up.

External Apps can be configured on the account or course level.

All outcomes added at the account or sub-account level will be available to courses within the account. You can find and import Account Standards, which are outcomes that have been created by you or other users with admin permissions for the entire institution. You can also find State and Common Core Standards.

You can import an individual outcome or import an entire outcome group.

As an admin, you can choose to allow the Student Learning Mastery Gradebook feature option for instructors to enable in their courses, which lets students see Learning Mastery scores on their Grades page. All Outcomes in the course appear in the student view. However, some official outcome names may be difficult for students to understand, so when creating outcomes at the account level, you have the option to create a custom, or more friendly name, to appear for students. This separate name field allows you to keep both the official name of the outcome as well as create a friendlier version that is more helpful for students.

Note: For instructors, creating a custom name is a course permission. If they have access, instructors can create friendly names for outcomes they create at the course level. However, they cannot create custom names for outcomes created at the account level.
