How Elearning Integration works with Canvas
Our Elearning Integration allows you to link Wisenet LRM to Canvas in order to simplify managing Elearning Users, Enrolments, Groups and Grades. This is achieved with:
- Elearning Courses are automatically kept in sync with Wisenet
- Manually map Elearning Courses to Wisenet Offers or use Auto-linking to map the elearning courses to the offers automatically
- Easily manage Elearning Enrolments within Wisenet alongside Course / Unit Enrolments
- Use automation that Enables / Disables elearning access based on Learner progression
- Users, Enrolments and Groups are automatically created and updated within Canvas based on Elearning Enrolment setup in Wisenet
- Set up Grade Mapping Rules in Wisenet to align with your grading needs
- Elearning Grade events are automatically synced to Wisenet and updates Unit Enrolment grade fields based on Grade Rules
Getting started with Elearning Integration
Elearning Integration has a number of set up processes with each App having their own Connected App found in the LRM > Settings > Integration > Connected Apps page. If you are unable to connect to the App then log a support request and one of our Customer Engagement Team member will be in contact with you to organise the required license for Connected Apps.
Once you have access to the Canvas App in the Connected Apps section in Wisenet, simply follow the guidelines below on how to set up.
Set Up
Connect Elearning Application
This step is within the Connected Apps section of Wisenet and it should be a one time process. It is important to follow the steps comprehensively to establish a two-way integration to sync Elearning Courses, Elearning Enrolments and Grades.
NOTE: The two-way integration is available in Premium Edition only.
Set Up Elearning Enrolment Rules
Elearning Enrolment Rules are set against Course Enrolments and Unit Enrolments. You will use the rules to automate the Elearning enrolment process. For example, you can set rules around enabling Elearning access with reference to Course Enrolment or Unit Enrolment Start and End Date.
Method 1: Auto Linking Canvas Courses to Wisenet Offers
Automatic Linking allows you to map the Canvas course as soon as it is created in Canvas to automatically link to the relevant Course Offer / Unit Offer in Wisenet.
- For the Automatic Linking to work, the Canvas Course SIS ID must match the Course Offer Code/Unit Offer Code depending on your settings.
- Automatic Linking does NOT support Grouping.
- For Automatic Linking to work, the Wisenet Offer must be created BEFORE the Canvas course.
- If the Canvas course was created first, learn how to link the course manually in the article below

With the help of the data services in Canvas, you will be able to:
- Sync courses from Canvas to Wisenet automatically.
- Sync changes that occurs in your Canvas Courses to auto-update in Wisenet, such as: Course Code, Course name and SIS ID
