In this guide we’ll walk through how to get Soundtrap integrated to your Canvas course. As the EDU owner, follow the steps in this guide to generate the Soundtrap LTI keys. Please note that there are different levels on which you can integrate Soundtrap on. Please visit the below guides if you are looking to integrate Soundtrap on a different level in Canvas:

• Integrate Soundtrap with Canvas [Sub-Account level]
• Integrate Soundtrap with Canvas [Account level]

Multiple Courses level integration: If Soundtrap is to be installed for multiple Canvas courses but not the whole Canvas account, you can share the LTI keys (found on step 3 in this guide) with specific teachers to add Soundtrap to their courses. The teachers must use the same LTI keys to install Soundtrap into their specific Canvas courses and can refer to this guide on How to integrate Soundtrap into multiple Canvas Courses

How students and teachers can access Soundtrap from Canvas

Now that Soundtrap has been successfully installed into Canvas courses and is visible on the left hand side of the course menu, students and teachers can:

1. Log into their Canvas accounts
2. Go to their Canvas integrated course
3. Click on the Soundtrap app listed on the left side of the course menu
   And a brand new Soundtrap user account will be created for the student or teacher. 
   This is also the login flow and all Canvas students and teachers should use this flow to login and connect with their Soundtrap account.

Important notes:

• If you are a Soundtrap EDU owner and want to install Soundtrap district wide, please reach out to your Canvas LMS administrator. Canvas admins can install Soundtrap district wide by following this guide. After Soundtrap has been installed district wide, Soundtrap will then be available to all Canvas users.
  
  
• Exercise caution if you need to reset your LTI keys via the "regenerate configuration" button. This will populate a brand new set of Soundtrap keys. Since the keys need to match on both sides (Soundtrap and Canvas), you will need to update all configured Canvas courses with the new keys. Users will not be able to access Soundtrap until the new keys have been updated in your Canvas courses.
  
  
• New user accounts will be created as long as there are enough Soundtrap seats available.
  
  
• Teachers should create their own Soundtrap groups and invite students to join their group for collaboration.
