Integrations

We don't replace your LMS.
We integrate directly within it.

Integrates with any LMS via LTI 1.3.

Nectir has been a wonderful asset to the college. We really enjoy being able to create different groups for classes or even the clubs that we offer at ASU Mid-South.

How To Create Your Classroom Community Backchannel

Classroom backchannels facilitate real-time digital conversations that complement live lectures, enabling students to actively engage, clarify doubts, and collaborate with peers, even if they're hesitant to voice concerns aloud. For educators, backchannels offer immediate feedback on student comprehension, reduce repetitive query addressing, and foster a more interactive and inclusive learning environment, making them a crucial tool for modern education.
