Would you like to view your current Canvas courses directly from myHilltop? Integrating Canvas with myHilltop allows you to see your Canvas dashboard courses on your myHilltop homepage.
This article covers:
After logging in to myHilltop, choose to authorize an integration with Canvas via the Canvas Connector that will display all of your current courses directly on your myHilltop homepage.
After authorizing the connection, your Canvas courses will appear at the top of your homepage as individual tiles, roughly half the width of normal myHilltop task tiles. Clicking a course from myHilltop directs you to that course's Canvas homepage.
1. To see your courses and to enable the integration, you must be logged in to myHilltop.To log in, go to the"Sign In"button in the upper right corner.
2. After signing in, return to the menu and select"Preferences."
3. To authorize the integration of Canvas and myHilltop, go to"Authorize Canvas Connector" and click"Authorize."
4. Canvas will prompt you to authorize access from OneCampus (the application that runs myHilltop). Click "Authorize" to turn on the Connector.
5. Once you have authorized the connection, you will see small tiles with the same courses that appear on your Canvas Dashboard. To access a specific course, click the tile. You'll be taken to the homepage for that course. To change the courses that appear on your Canvas Dashboard, see this Canvas Community article on Customizing Your Course List.
Note: As a reminder, to access your individual Canvas courses in myHilltop, you must be logged in to myHilltop.
If you decide you'd like to revert the change and remove your individual courses from your myHilltop homepage, you can deauthorize the Canvas Connector.
1. In the right corner, above the Canvas courses, click "Edit" next to the gear icon.
2. Click "Deauthorize" to remove the connection between Canvas and myHilltop.This will remove the Canvas Courses section from your myHilltop homepage. (You can still access Canvas from myHilltop through the Canvas task.) You can reauthorize the Canvas Connector at any time in the "Preferences" panel of myHilltop if you change your mind.
