Blackboard and Canvas LMS
VoteAmerica+ works with Blackboard LMS and Canvas LMS to make voter registration easy and convenient. If you are an LMS administrator you can add the VoteAmerica+ Register to Vote tool to your instance.
The VoteAmerica+ LMS plugin is made available through as an LTI 1.3 tool, and thus should be compatible with all certified platforms. In other words, the plugin should work with most LMS platforms.
