This guide will walk Canvas administrators through the process of setting up CodeHS as an external tool within their Canvas account. By following these steps, you can easily add CodeHS to your Canvas environment, allowing your teachers and students to access CodeHS resources directly from Canvas. If you encounter any issues or need assistance, please reach out to your CodeHS Customer Success Manager.

Begin by logging into your Canvas administrator account. Once logged in, click on the Admin tab in the left-hand navigation pane.

In the Admin tab, choose the account where you want to set up CodeHS as an external tool.

Scroll down to the Settings option on the left-hand side of the screen.

At the top of the Settings page, click on the Apps tab.

In the Apps section, use the search bar to find “CodeHS.” Once you find it, click on the CodeHS app to proceed.

Click the Add App button. You will need to enter your Consumer Key and Shared Secret to set up the app.

If you do not have your Consumer Key and Shared Secret, contact your CodeHS Customer Success Manager to obtain this information. Once you have these details, enter them into the corresponding fields and click Add App.

After adding the app, you should see a confirmation message indicating that the app was added successfully. The CodeHS app will now appear under Installed Apps.

Ensure that the CodeHS app is available to the appropriate teachers within your district. If there are any permission settings that restrict access, make sure to adjust them so that computer science teachers can access the app.
