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.

Each organization has unique access requirements, and some prefer not to grant system administrator rights to instructors in Moodle LMS. Without these rights, the analytics IntelliBoard provides are not accessible. In order to grant access to the analytics, but not other system administration areas, a custom role can provide the solution.
