FAQs: Quizizz x Canvas Integration via LTI

Q. What should I do if I see an error message that says 'invalid_redirect_uri' when I try to launch Quizizz from Canvas?

A. To fix this, Administrators can:

1. Log in to Canvas
2. Click on the Admin tab from the left navigation pane
3. Select the name of the account
4. Go to ‘Developer Keys’
5. Edit the Quizizz LTI key by clicking on the edit icon () and enter 'https://quizizz.com/lti/canvas/callback' in the Redirect URI field on the left side of your screen
6. Click on 'Save'

Q. What happens if teacher email IDs in Canvas and Quizizz accounts are different?

A. Teachers are required to log in directly to Quizizz when accessing it via Canvas. This allows them to use their Quizizz accounts, which may be associated with different email addresses from those used in Canvas.

Q. How does Quizizz handle student logins from Canvas?

A. Quizizz creates accounts for students based on their unique LMS user accounts and does not rely on student emails provided by Canvas. This approach ensures student data privacy and provides a seamless login experience, eliminating the need for explicit Single Sign-On (SSO) or additional onboarding steps.

Students can access the Quizizz accounts created via Canvas exclusively through Canvas LTI. This student profile remains consistent across all their Canvas courses. If a student is removed from Canvas, they will lose access to their Quizizz student account created via Canvas. Logging into Quizizz using another method will create a separate Quizizz account.

Q. How will sections in Canvas courses affect my Quizizz classes?

A. Sections in Canvas courses will be synced into Quizizz as a single combined class.

Q. How does this work with Accommodation Profiles?

A. When a teacher opens the Quizizz LTI app from a Canvas course, the class syncs on Quizizz. Teachers can set Accommodation Profiles for students either from their Classes page on Quizizz or while assigning an activity on Canvas. They can also manage which students receive specific assignments using the Canvas assignment settings. 

Q. What should I do if my school has the existing (non-LTI) Canvas integration?

A. Administrators can add the LTI integration alongside the existing integration. Both integrations can run parallelly (recommended). This setup ensures that existing Quizizz activities in Canvas courses continue to function and that Canvas classes imported into Quizizz can be converted for LTI usage. Once a teacher opens the Quizizz LTI in a Canvas course, the class synced on Quizizz for that course will only be accessible via the LTI flow.
