Does Canvas Pilot turn on at osu.instructure.com?

Yes, with nothing to set up. osu.instructure.com ends in instructure.com, and Canvas Pilot always treats those addresses as Canvas. Open any course and the panel shows up in the bottom right corner. If it ever does not, the troubleshooting page shows how to add the address by hand.

Getting started at OSU

  1. On your own Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, add the free Tampermonkey extension and load Canvas Pilot. It does not run on school Chromebooks, phones, or tablets. The install page walks you through it.
  2. Go to carmen.osu.edu and sign in with your Ohio State name.#, the same as always.
  3. Open a course. Paste the license key from your email into the Canvas Pilot panel once.
  4. Open an assignment and press Go.

What it does in your CarmenCanvas courses
