Feature Release: zyBooks Upgrade from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3

Rutgers Canvas is pleased to announce the upgrade of zyBooks from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3. zyBooks are fully interactive, web-native learning solutions created in the ‘less text, more action’ pedagogy that empower student engagement and success through animations, learning questions, auto-graded challenge activities, integrated tools, and test banks.

Please note that you will need a previously created account with zyBooks to access any online material in Rutgers Canvas. If you do not see zyBooks in your course navigation, please enable it by managing your course navigation links.

The existing integration will be removed on May 15. 2025. Existing links in your Spring 2025 Canvas courses (and prior semesters) will no longer work after this date; however, student submissions and grades will exist through the publisher’s website. Instructors should re-link their Canvas pages with the latest upgrades instead of copying courses from previous semesters. Course content created for Summer and Fall 2025 semesters must use the new zyBooks LTI 1.3 integration. Please contact zyBooks Support for technical questions and any concerns.
