As a result, Impact Admin can now view and understand the usage and adoption of Credentials (formerly known as Badgr) in Canvas to make better data-informed decisions, as well as deepen overall adoption of Credentials through in-app messaging and support with Impact.

This Canvas Credentials integration includes the availability of the third-party tool frame for Credentials LTI inside of Canvas.
