The Selective Integration Control feature introduces the ability for administrators to manage external platform integrations, such as Microsoft Teams, Canvas etc., with greater precision. Instead of applying integration settings uniformly across all courses, groups, or grades, this feature allows for targeted activation or deactivation.
How It Works:
Targeted Activation/Deactivation
Administrators can enable or disable integrations for specific contexts, such as courses, groups, or grades, using per-integration toggles. For example:
Canvas can remain active for one course (Image 1) but be deactivated for another (Image 2).
Flexible Multi-Select Control
The updated interface includes a multi-select dropdown (Image 1), allowing administrators to choose which platforms to activate or deactivate for a customized setup.
Global Default Settings
Administrators can define default integration preferences in general settings, automatically applying these preferences to newly created groups. These defaults save time but remain customizable for individual groups or courses.
Why It’s Important
This feature addresses the need for flexibility in educational settings where different programs require different tools. It eliminates the “all-on” or “all-off” approach, enabling tailored integration management to improve efficiency, save resources, and enhance user experience.
