Using Syllio with Your LMS
Syllio is designed to complement your institution's learning management system, not replace it. On the student side, Syllio's LMS sync connects to Canvas, Blackboard, and Google Classroom and pulls every assignment and deadline directly into your Syllio calendar. You continue submitting work through your LMS — Syllio just ensures you never miss a deadline posted there.
For teachers on Syllio's Teacher Pro plan, Syllio can export AI-built syllabi and lesson plans directly to Canvas or Google Classroom, populating assignments with due dates and descriptions automatically. This eliminates the manual re-entry step between creating content in Syllio and publishing it to your LMS.
