Top Hat's integration with ICON allows instructors to synchronize student rosters and grades across the two platforms.
Top Hat LTI 1.3 Settings
Top Hat has a new LTI 1.3 Integration with ICON/Canvas that allows for automatic updates and Canvas links to Top Hat assignments. Top Hat has information on the new integration. It is recommended that all Top Hat instructors at Iowa use this integration.
