At Innovation, we know where we fit — and just as importantly, where we don’t. We understand that tools like Google Classroom, Schoology, and Canvas have become the backbone of digital learning for many schools. Districts invest in these platforms for their compatibility, reporting features, and teacher training.
And that’s fine with us.
Innovation is a full-featured learning management system in its own right, but we don’t expect to replace the LMS you already rely on. Instead, we complement it. Our design philosophy is simple: Innovation plugs into the LMS you already use — quickly, easily, and effectively.
Seamless Integration Through Links
If your LMS allows you to include external links (and almost all of them do), then you can integrate Innovation activities in minutes. Here’s how:
- One-Click Links to Activities:
Every Innovation learning task can generate a unique external link. Just click the link button next to an activity, copy it, and paste it directly into a module, assignment, or announcement in your LMS. - Link Lists for Topics:
Want to include an entire sequence of activities? Use the Link List option from the Topic control dropdown. It instantly creates a formatted list of links to all activities within that topic, ready to paste into your LMS for students to access in order. - Evaluation Links:
When it comes time to assess student work, Innovation makes it just as easy. The Evaluation button produces a link to the task scoresheet, which you can paste into your LMS, email to students, or drop into a video conference chat.
Works With Your Live Sessions
Innovation also shines in live teaching environments. If you’re conducting sessions over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, Innovation integrates seamlessly:
- Start your live session in your chosen platform.
- Open the relevant Innovation activity in your browser.
- Share your screen as you guide students through the task.
- With a single click, generate a participation link and paste it into the video conference chat so students can follow along or complete tasks simultaneously.
Why This Matters
Teachers don’t need another siloed platform to manage. You already have enough logins, dashboards, and gradebooks to juggle. With Innovation, you get powerful, purpose-built learning activities that fit into your existing workflow without disruption.
We believe in meeting teachers and students where they already are — which, for many of you, is inside your district’s LMS. Innovation gives you the flexibility to enrich your LMS with engaging, structured learning tasks and robust evaluation tools — without asking you to abandon what’s already working.
