Connect CuraCourse to your LMS

Open CuraCourse courses from Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, or Moodle, with automatic sign-in, rosters, and grades.

What you get

Once CuraCourse is connected to your learning management system (LMS):

  • Students and instructors open CuraCourse from their LMS course and are signed in automatically.
  • Each LMS course opens the CuraCourse course its instructor picks.
  • Scores go to the LMS gradebook.
  • Students added to or removed from the LMS course are added to or removed from the CuraCourse course.

Often one person does the first two.

Before you start

  • Your CuraCourse organization must be verified. If Organization → LMS says it is waiting for verification, contact support.
  • You need administrator access to your LMS.

Set it up

  1. In CuraCourse, open your organization, choose LMS, and choose Create activation code. The code tells CuraCourse that your LMS belongs to your organization. It works once and expires after 7 days.
  2. Add CuraCourse to your LMS with the activation code. Follow the guide for your LMS:
  3. Open CuraCourse once from a course in your LMS, as an instructor or administrator. Your LMS then shows as Connected under Organization → LMS.

Under Organization → LMS, choose Disconnect next to your LMS. CuraCourse stops opening from it right away. To reconnect it, contact support.
