Integrations: Setting up the LTI in your LMS
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:
From your IntelliBoard account, ensure you have successfully connected the LMS to IntelliBoard.
Login to your IntelliBoard Pro account and click on your Avatar to display a drop down menu.
Select “Manage Connections.”
The connection should have a blue circle under the “Active” column. You can click the circle to activate or deactivate the connection.
Click the three dots below the “Actions” column next to the connection you wish to edit, and select “Edit.”
Click the “Advanced Setting” tab.
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 directions below for individual LTI connection setup information.

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.
Under “Site Administration” in your Moodle Administrator account, click “Users.”
Under the “Permissions” group, click “Define Roles.”
Find “Authenticated User” and click the “Edit” button.
Scroll down to “Capability” and filter using “IntelliData.” Check the “Allow” box next to “IntelliBoard LTI View.”

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.
