Gale in Context: For Educators - Canvas Update

Gale in Context: For Educators is a teacher tool and many customers have shared that they want to restrict potential student access to the app by hiding it in the Canvas course navigation. For this reason, we've made an update to the way For Educators appears in Canvas.

For new Integrations from March 29, 2024 forward, this new configuration will be automatically applied.

For customers with an existing implementation, completed before March 29, 2024, this change will not be automatically applied. Customers with an existing Canvas implementation will need to uninstall and reinstall Gale In Context: For Educators.
