Follow the steps below to connect your Canvas environment to your SI Cloud courses. Please note that some steps must be performed by your institution's LMS administrator.
Complete this process for each SKU before you make section copies in your LMS.
If this is the first course SKU to integrate with LTI 1.3 at your institution, follow steps 1-4 below.
Once your distance learning specialist has set up your course, you'll be able to dig into the content and make sure everything is as you like it.
- Logging into your SI Cloud account
Your distance learning specialist will let you know as soon as your account is set up and ready for access. Once they do, you can sign in here: http://myhol.holscience.com

- Getting to know the platform
The award-winning SI Cloud was designed to be intuitive and easy to use, and these resources can help you get started:
- Reviewing and customizing your course
Our robust curriculum comes completely ready to ensure student success, but if you want to add your own voice to the content, feel free to use any of the SI Cloud's great customization tools:
1. Create your Developer Key (Admin only)
User Role: LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per course/SKU
This step must be completed by an LMS administrator and only needs to be completed once per unique course/kit. This will not need to be performed for clones/copies of a course. For example, once you set up a BIO 101 course, all of your clones/copies of BIO 101 will already be set up with the work done in this step.
See instructions on how to create your developer key here.
2. Create an App for this SI Cloud course
User Role: LMS Administrator/Course Designer Frequency: Once per course/SKU
Adding an App to your course in Canvas will allow you to add links to individual lessons in the next step. This will only need to be performed once for each course SKU.
See instructions on how to connect your course here.
3. Add your lesson links
User Role: Any User Frequency: Once per course/SKU
Once your App is created, set up lesson links in the course so students can find their assignments.
See instructions on how to add lesson links here.
4. Copy your course for additional sections (as needed)
User Role: Course Designer/Instructor Frequency: As needed
Once your course is set up the first time, you don't need to redo this above processes for every additional copy of that SKU — just follow the easy process found at the link below to set up already-integrated copies as needed.
This is the same process you will follow to copy your course for future semesters.
