Built for Canvas — Highlights
Three features that make EduGears AI the best LTI choice for Canvas.
Canvas Blueprint Sync — Unique to EduGears
Build a question bank, rubric, or quiz in the Blueprint master. It automatically appears in every linked child section — ready to use, no copying.
Grade Passback to Canvas Gradebook
AI-graded quizzes and essays post scores directly back to the Canvas gradebook via LTI AGS — no SpeedGrader workarounds.
Available in the Canvas App Center
Install EduGears AI from the EduAppCenter for streamlined LTI 1.3 configuration in your Canvas Developer Keys.
Built for Canvas Blueprint — Rare in the LTI World
EduGears AI is the only LTI AI tool that propagates content automatically from your Blueprint master to every linked child section.
Author Once, Deploy Everywhere
Build a question bank, rubric, or quiz in the master Blueprint course. It automatically appears in every linked child section — ready to use, no copying, no syncing.
Section-Aware Analytics
Master instructors see per-section breakdowns of how each child course is performing on the same content — all inside EduGears, without leaving Canvas.
Read-Only Safety in Child Courses
Child-course instructors see master content as locked. They can use it and score with it, but cannot accidentally edit shared material. Preserves course integrity at scale.
Most LTI tools treat each Canvas course in isolation. EduGears AI automatically detects master vs. child courses on launch — no manual linking, no config files, no copying course IDs.
Why EduGears for Canvas
- The only LTI tool with Canvas Blueprint sync. No other LTI AI tool propagates content from master to child sections automatically. If you manage multi-section courses, this alone is worth the switch.

- Available in the Canvas App Center. Install EduGears from the EduAppCenter for streamlined LTI 1.3 configuration in Canvas.
- Bring Your Own Key. Connect your OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini key to bypass usage limits — the only Canvas LTI AI tool with this option.
- Free tier for individuals, scalable for districts. Individual teachers can start free. Institutions can upgrade for higher limits.

Canvas FAQ
Common questions about adding AI to Canvas via EduGears.
What makes EduGears different from Canvas's own IgniteAI?
Canvas IgniteAI is Instructure's native AI feature set, built into the Canvas core. EduGears adds 15 specific AI tools — question generation, rubrics, AI grading, an AI tutor, slides, study guides — that IgniteAI does not currently include. EduGears connects via LTI 1.3, so it works alongside IgniteAI without conflict.
Does EduGears support Canvas Blueprint master/child courses?
Yes — fully, and we are the only LTI AI tool that does. EduGears detects Blueprint courses automatically on LTI launch. Content authored in the master course (question banks, rubrics, quizzes) propagates to every linked child section. Master instructors see per-section analytics; child instructors see master content as read-only.
How do I install EduGears in Canvas?
Option 1: Install from the Canvas EduAppCenter — search "EduGears AI" and click Install. Option 2: Use the universal LTI 1.3 registration URL in Canvas Settings → Apps → + App. Both paths take under 3 minutes.
Does AI grading sync grades back to the Canvas Gradebook?
Yes. Grades from AI-graded assessments post automatically to the Canvas Gradebook via LTI Assignment and Grade Services. Students see grades in Canvas as soon as AI grading completes.
Can I use QTI question banks I already have in Canvas?
Yes. EduGears can import existing Canvas question banks in QTI format and also export newly generated questions as QTI 2.1 — ready to import back into Canvas's native question bank.
Does it work with Canvas for K-12 districts?
Yes. EduGears is FERPA and COPPA compliant, making it appropriate for K-12 deployments. All student data is encrypted and never used to train AI models.
