An LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) connection is a standard protocol that allows learning tools or applications to integrate seamlessly with Learning Management Systems (LMS) or other educational platforms. LTI enables these external tools to be launched and used within the LMS environment, facilitating a cohesive and integrated learning experience for users.

To set up your LTI in your LMS:

  1. From your IntelliBoard account, ensure you have successfully connected the LMS to IntelliBoard.

  2. Login to your IntelliBoard Pro account and click on your Avatar to display a drop down menu.

  3. Select “Manage Connections.”

  4. The connection should have a blue circle under the “Active” column. You can click the circle to activate or deactivate the connection.

  5. Click the three dots below the “Actions” column next to the connection you wish to edit, and select “Edit.”

  6. Click the “Advanced Setting” tab.

  7. Click the “LTI Tokens” drop down menu to access the LTI information. You’ll need to add this information to the LTI of your choosing. Keep this open for easy copy and paste access. Note: you cannot edit these values and they are unique per client and connection.

Follow the Moodle LMS connection directions above to set up LTI tokens inside your Moodle Administrator account.

At this point, only the site administrator(s) can see this menu item. You must add this permission to a site-wide role to enable other users to see this menu item. To do this, add the permission to the Authenticated User role. This will enable learners as well as instructors to see IntelliBoard.

  1. Under “Site Administration” in your Moodle Administrator account, click “Users.”

    image-20240912-162149.pngImage Added

  2. Under the “Permissions” group, click “Define Roles.”

    image-20240912-170646.pngImage Added

  2. Click “Save Changes” button.

If you want to grant permission to view the LTI to only selected users, e.g. only instructors, you will need to create a custom separate system-level role, e.g. “LTIview,” and assign that role to the users you want to give the permission to.

  1. Under “Site Administration” in your Moodle Administrator account, click “Users.”

  2. Under the “Permissions” group, click “Define Roles.”

  3. Click the newly created role such as “LTIview” and click the “Edit” button.

  4. Scroll down to “Capability” and filter using “Intellidata.”

  5. Set “IntelliBoard LTI View” to “Allow.”

  6. Click “Save Changes” button.

You now need to grant this system role to only those users who should have it. Moodle provides a utility to update roles per user:

  1. Use Moodle or IntelliBoard to export a list of usernames for all users with a Teacher role in at least one course. Use this list to construct a CSV file

    • The first row of the import file consists of this exact text:username,sysrole1

    • Every row after will look similar to this:mlrobson,ltiview

    • Here, “mlrobson” is a username and "ltiview" is the name of the new role that allows the LTI menu item to be visible.
      It is also possible to remove the system role from a user by including a line like this:
      mlrobson,-ltiview The minus sign removes the role.

  2. Follow the directions on the “Upload Users” documentation page referenced above to use the CSV file to add/remove roles.

  3. In order for a user to be able to use the LTI associated with IntelliBoard, the user account needs to be created in IntelliBoard. You will need to sync IB Users.
