<b>Please note:</b> The system described here will be replaced by
January 2016 with our new infrastructure based on the
<a href="https://www.imsglobal.org/activity/learning-tools-interoperability">LTI</a>
communications protocol, potentially allowing
for OpenDSA to work with a wide variety of widely used Learning
Management Systems.
For Spring 2016, we will only support integration with the
<a href="https://www.canvaslms.com/">Canvas LMS</a>.
Support for other LMS will come thereafter.

<p>
OpenDSA includes useful tools for instructors in what we call the
"Teachers' view".
OpenDSA supports multiple "book instances" where a given book instance
would be used by one particular class.

<ul>

<li >
This is what the main page of the teachers' view looks like for a
particular book instance.

<p></p>
</li>

<li>
From the main page, instructors can create assignments, which are
simply a collection of exercises that appear in the book instance.

<li>
Instructors can track their students' progress in the Activity
Summary.
From this page, an instructor can also export the spreadsheet as a CSV
file for import into their own course gradebook.
