Data integrations with your LMS streamline the process of assessing activities and showcasing achievements — wherever they happen. Instructors can link Via assignments to automatically return grades back to the LMS, eliminating double work, while students can pull artifacts from the LMS into Via to add to their timeline and use in assessment activities. By integrating Via with Planning & Self-Study, you can provide evidence to support accreditation reporting and contribute key insights to broader continuous improvement efforts.
