Evaluator questions
What the Canvas LTI application adds.
These are the practical differences between deploying SEB alone and connecting it to an institution-wide Canvas workflow.
What does the LTI application add?
It gives instructors a course-level management view, students a launch path on the assessment page, and root-account administrators an operational dashboard.
How does Canvas identity carry through?
Safe Online Exam validates the signed LTI launch and uses the verified user, course, role, tenant, and deployment for every protected workflow.
How does the student reach the quiz?
The assessment page opens a short-lived SEB configuration. After current Config Key proof succeeds, the service obtains a Canvas session handoff without copying the student's browser cookies.
What does an administrator install?
The institution configures an LTI 1.3 Developer Key, a Canvas API OAuth Developer Key, the account-level app installation, and a small account-theme detector script.
