LMS Equivalency Chart

The following is a chart to show Canvas equivalent functions to Moodle

Moodle Activity	Canvas Equivalent	Notes
Global Level External Tool (LTI)	External App (LTI)	Global integrations such as Piazza can be enabled by navigating to course Settings -> Navigation, and dragging the desired integration to your course navigation.
Course Level External Tool (LTI)	External App (LTI)	External LTI connections will require OIT validation prior to adding to your course.
Assignment	Assignments	All Moodle Assignments that are upload based will be converted and found in Canvas Assignments
Quiz	Quizzes	Unsupported question types such as CodeRunner and STACK are dropped in the conversion process to the Canvas quiz engine. If you need such question types, a Moodle Integration is required.
Workshop	No Analog	Use Moodle integration to run workshops in Canvas. Another option is to use Turnitin Peermark.
Sections / Topics	Modules	Your Moodle course counterpart will be converted to the topic format (from weekly), and then imported into Canvas.
H5P External Tool	No Analog	Use Kaltura, this can be found in "My Media" and embedded into a Canvas page. If you have substantial embedded interactive quizzes in your H5P interactive videos, this can be setup as a Moodle Integration. A time investment is required to rebuild interactive elements in Kaltura.
Turnitin External Tool	Turnitin	Turnitin assignments will need to be recreated in Canvas.
Forums	Discussions	Converted Moodle Forums will show up in Canvas Discussions.
SCORM	SCORM	SCORM activities will not translate to Canvas. These will need to be downloaded from your Moodle course and uploaded as a SCORM package in Canvas. You can enable SCORM in your course navigation.
Survey	No Analog	An alternative is to use a Canvas Quiz. This could also be a Moodle integration.
URL	External URL	This can be added via your course module. Please note that URL's imported from Moodle that are moodle hard links, will still reference Moodle. Please update such URL's to the imported file in Canvas.
Reports	Course Statistics	This can be located under course status
Page	Pages	If you are using LDG templates, we recommend you copy and paste content from your Moodle imported page into the template for consistent look and feel.
Label	Text Header	Canvas does not have the capability to display large label paragraphs on the module page. Please shorten these to fit into a Header. Longer descriptions can then be pasted into a page which can then be linked in your Course Module.
Database	No Analog	If this is required, use Moodle Integration.
