  • Quizlet (Note that Quizlet integration has been disabled in Canvas. While you can no longer embed Quizlet quizzes into Canvas--students can’t use Quizlet within Canvas--you can instead add Quizlet links to pages, assignments and modules. Simply add the Quizlet quiz link to a page/ assignment/ module, and then the students can navigate--leave Canvas--to Quizlet’s website to access the quiz. If you had intended on using Quizlet for assessment or grading, we recommend using the Canvas Quizzes feature, which has similar functionality to Quizlet.)
