ScholarStack connects with Canvas LMS in two ways: the Canvas Import Wizard migrates an existing Canvas course into ScholarStack, and the Canvas Assistant is an AI tool that helps you design and edit Canvas content directly.

Connecting Canvas

  1. Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Canvas.
  2. Enter your Canvas instance URL (e.g., canvas.youruniversity.edu).
  3. Paste your Canvas API token (generated in Canvas under Account → Settings → New Access Token).
  4. Click Connect. ScholarStack verifies the connection and lists your Canvas courses.

Canvas Import Wizard

The import wizard is a 6-step workflow that transforms a Canvas course into a fully structured ScholarStack course:

  1. Curate — select which Canvas pages, files, assignments, and quizzes to import
  2. Format — choose how to structure the course (by week, by topic, or custom)
  3. Modules — AI proposes a module structure based on your content; review and adjust
  4. Objectives — AI generates learning objectives for each module based on the imported material
  5. Assessments — AI proposes quizzes and assignments aligned to the course content
  6. Preview — review the complete proposed course structure before finalizing the import

Canvas Assistant

The Canvas Assistant (Dashboard → Canvas) is an AI chat interface for working with your Canvas courses in natural language. Ask it to list course content, propose quiz questions, review assignment structures, or preview specific resources — it uses your actual Canvas course data as context.
