The Soomo Webtext App provides deep integration of digital native content with formative assessments into your LMS course—including support for Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, and other LTI-based platforms.
This robust integration creates direct links from your course into a Soomo webtext and delivers scores as students complete coursework.
Canvas Administrators
It’s easy to set up the Soomo Webtext Link! Enable the Soomo Learning Webtext Tool LTI 1.3 Developer Key in your Canvas instance, add it to the root or appropriate subaccount, and share the Deployment ID with lms@soomolearning.com.
Instructors
Integrate your Soomo webtext into your LMS course shell using LTI links. Content can be deployed as links to individual modules or chapters.
Graded assignments will
• add a column to the Canvas (or other LMS) grade center and
• sync to those grade center columns, providing points earned in real time.
Data on the completion of formative assessment, scores, and timing is reflected in an analytics dashboard. Student Activity Summary reports are also provided by email to individual instructors on a weekly basis.
Contact Soomo at https://www.soomolearning.com/get-started, and we will quickly get you on your way to reviewing available titles.

Students benefit from single sign-on with access to their webtexts directly in the context of their course materials.
