LTI Integration
With Teams replacing Class Notebook, there is a focus to use this in Education. If Teams worked with LTI, it would allow Learning Management Systems such as Moodle and Canvas to assign users to a Team through direct single sign on. This creates a more seamless experience for students and decreases the amount of admin needed to get them in.
Further to this, each group inside an LMS could be given a separate team or private channel in Teams to Collaborate. This would be massively beneficial for Education.

Thanks to all of your feedback and thanks to our partners and their tireless efforts, we’ve made it possible for you to now set up a Microsoft Teams meeting for your online classroom directly from within your learning management system (LMS).
This new capability allows you to quickly enable remote learning for your students and faculty by bringing the power of Teams directly into your LMS. We already have integrations launched across the world’s top LMSs; Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Schoology, and itsLearning!
Learn more about these new integrations and get started today here; https://educationblog.microsoft.com/en-us/2020/03/microsoft-teams-meeting-creation-now-available-in-canvas-blackboard-schoology-brightspace-and-itslearning/
The best part is this is only the beginning because as Teams evolves, we’ll continue to improve our LMS integrations as well. Thank you!

Could this also be done for Moodle and ILIAS?

Teams supporting LTI would be a game changer. I'd love Microsoft to support this industry standard.

This post is about Teams as an LTI integration, but what's been produced isn't LTI. Why isn't the integration using this industry standard?

Our school, and many K12 schools use Blackbaud’s K12 suite. The school is already LTI and OneRoster compliant. Can you help us with a path to integration? Thanks

It would be great if there were a Canvas integration for Microsoft Teams. Since Skype for Business Online will be retired and support ends on 07/31/2021 our institution is already considering moving over to Microsoft Teams.

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/skype-for-business-online-to-be-retired-in-2021/ba-p/777833#While there is Skype for Business Server 2019 (mainstream support ends 01/09/2024; extended support ends 10/14/2025), I doubt Microsoft will create newer versions of Skype for Business Server as they are encouraging migration to Microsoft Teams.

An LTI integration would be welcome for all users of the Schoolbox LMS as well.

This is a great idea. +1 for a Canvas LTI.
It is a great idea to link course-level and group-level team names to the Canvas course code (and term date??) so we can also manage teams in-line with our data retention policies.

Very keen to investigate the LTI between Teams and Canvas at Uni of Canberra to enable staff and students and student groups to collaborate.

Great Idea! Access to additional files from Teams / sharepoint with additional permission settings (private channel for teachers or groups). Managing working groups in teams is so much easier than in Canvas due to the connected assignments you cant change group settings during the course.

Any chance that this could be done for Blackboard.

As we use Canvas also for our in-school information/trainings, it would be great to be able to link MS teams and shared folders where we have all our school documents.

For us the ability to integrate teams into Canvas sites would provide some excellent additional features. Support concept of being able to automatically create a teams group in Canvas populated with the same members/roles as the Canvas course site.
