If your institution has a Learning Management System (LMS) like Blackboard or Canvas, Visual Classrooms can be integrated seamlessly as an App/External Tool within that system. Contact us at support@visualclassrooms.com to get the launch url, secret, and key to enable LMS integration.
Much of the sign up process is automated, and if your school purchases student licenses, they are automatically applied to student accounts as they sign up.
