Last summer, RingCentral affirmed our commitment and support to students, teachers, and educational organizations during the COVID pandemic—and also launched our first learning management system (LMS) integration with Canvas, a leading LMS provider. Our education customers were excited about our Canvas integration and provided valuable feedback regarding what to focus on next.

Elevate your online learning environment

Today, we are excited to announce that RingCentral for LTI now supports Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, and Brightspace by D2L.

RingCentral for LTI makes it easy to schedule and manage RingCentral Video meetings in your favorite LMS in a native way. Users—whether they are instructors or students—can transform their LMS application into a powerful tool to coordinate their RingCentral Video meetings and online classroom.
