Integrations
LiFT offers integrations with Google, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft
Teams and/or Clever. An integration with Google enables the usage of
Google Drive templates for the seamless sharing of Evidence Assignments.
An integration with Clever manages all class rostering. All
integrations enable Single Sign On (SSO).
Clever Schools
Due to the unique qualities of every Clever set up, it is important to set-up the Clever/LiFT integration together with a LiFT technical advisor and your school’s IT team. If your school is on Clever and that integration is not yet underway, please email support@liftlearning.com to request an appointment to initiate your Clever/LiFT integration.
Because Clever automatically manages the creation of your LiFT
accounts and the rostering of your classes, there are many topics
addressed in this online help center which do not apply to you and your
school. Articles that don’t apply are notated at the top. Be certain to
read For Clever Schools which covers these topics as they apply to you as a Clever school.
Benefits of a Google Integration
For schools using Google Workspace, LiFT offers a simple, streamlined
way to assign and collect evidence of learning using Google templates.
LiFT automatically makes a copy of templated Google Drive assignments in
each learner’s drive, and manages the sharing permissions so that
learners can seamlessly submit evidence assignments. These shared Google
documents can easily be passed back and forth between teacher and
learner, and teachers can edit or comment on them directly in their
Feedback Window. Establishing a Google/LiFT integration is strongly
recommended for all schools, unless you do not use a Google Workspace.
Initiating Your Integrations at the School or District Level
All LiFT integrations are handled by Edlink, a third-party provider.
Your school or district’s IT Administrator is required to initiate the
integrations, which only takes a few minutes. Please share this information with your Google Administrator/IT department.

Any Difficulties?
If you have any difficulties establishing an integration, please reach out directly to Edlink Support.
Single Sign On (SSO)
Completing a Google Single Sign On is required for the use of Google Templates. If your learners are already using Canvas, Schoology, or
Microsoft Teams, they are welcome to do a one-time set-up of Single Sign
On to be able to access LiFT through the other apps. Integrations with
Canvas, Schoology and Microsoft are limited to Single Sign On and do not
impact any other LiFT features.
