About the relationship:
Fender Play began working on a version of their app to be used in educational situations. To make their app more user-friendly for learning institutions, the team knew they needed education integrations. During their research, Fender Play's team reached out to Edlink after exploring several of Edlink’s blog articles online. Interested to learn more, Fender Play’s team joined a call with Edlink.
During their first call, the Fender Play team discussed their challenges with their current authentication system, which couldn’t support the majority of educational identity providers. Fender Play’s goal is to integrate their app with LMS providers like Canvas to enable SSO, rostering, assignment sync, and grade passback. After understanding how Edlink could help out, Fender Play chose Edlink as their integration partner.
In one integration to Edlink, Fender Play could connect to dozens of the most popular LMS, SIS, and IAM providers like Schoology, PowerSchool, and Canvas. Edlink’s connections would let Fender Play host powerful functionalities like SSO, rostering, assignment sync, and grade passback for their users (educators and students). By using Edlink as their integration partner, Fender Play won’t have to spend thousands of dollars or hundreds of hours developing integrations and can instead focus on providing quality music education.
