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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s fine with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Innovation is a full-featured learning management system in its own right, but we don\u2019t expect to replace the LMS you already rely on. Instead, we complement it. Our design philosophy is simple: <em>Innovation plugs into the LMS you already use \u2014 quickly, easily, and effectively.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seamless Integration Through Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your LMS allows you to include external links (and almost all of them do), then you can integrate Innovation activities in minutes. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One-Click Links to Activities:<\/strong><br>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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Link Lists for Topics:<\/strong><br>Want to include an entire sequence of activities? Use the <em>Link List<\/em> 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evaluation Links:<\/strong><br>When it comes time to assess student work, Innovation makes it just as easy. The <em>Evaluation<\/em> 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-1024x465.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-1024x465.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-1536x697.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-2048x930.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.innovationassessments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-22-at-7.40.04-AM-1200x545.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Works With Your Live Sessions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Innovation also shines in live teaching environments.

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe in meeting teachers and students where they already are \u2014 which, for many of you, is inside your district\u2019s LMS. Innovation gives you the flexibility to enrich your LMS with engaging, structured learning tasks and robust evaluation tools \u2014 without asking you to abandon what\u2019s already working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Innovation, we know where we fit \u2014 and just as importantly, where we don\u2019t.
