Connect an LTI tool to a group

Group admins can connect, edit, and deactivate a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) tool to a group, making the tool's content available to authors in that group and its subgroups. LTI lets external content providers connect directly to 360Learning.

Activating an LTI tool cascades to all subgroups of the group where you activated it. Authors in any descendant group can add content from the tool, even if the tool doesn't appear in the subgroups' own settings.

You can't delete a group, or one of its subgroups, that has an active LTI tool connection.

You can activate up to 10 LTI tools per group.

Connect an LTI tool

Before you start, get the following connection details from your LTI tool provider:

• Login URL
• Launch redirect URLs
• Either a public key or a keyset URL

To connect the tool:

1. In the left sidebar, hover over a group, then click  Settings.
2. In the left menu, click Integrations.
3. In the left, click LTI tools.
4. In the main section, click Add LTI tool.
5. Enter the connection details.
6. Click Save and continue.
7. Copy and paste the displayed details into the tool provider configuration.
8. At the bottom, click Mark setup complete.

The tool shows as Active in the group's settings, and authors in the group and its subgroups can start adding content from the tool to their courses.

Edit an LTI tool

You can edit an LTI tool whether it's active or inactive. Editing it doesn't change its status. You can only edit a tool from the settings of the group where it was connected.

You can't edit the client ID, the deployment ID, or the other values that 360Learning generated during setup.

Changes to the following details apply right away to existing LTI activities that use the tool:

• Login URL
• Launch redirect URLs
• Public key or keyset URL
• Custom parameters
• Open LTI content in a new window

1. In the left sidebar, hover over the group, then click  Settings.
2. In the left menu, click Integrations.
3. In the left, click LTI tools.
4. Click the LTI tool.
5. Click  Edit.
6. Edit the connection details.
7. Click Save.

After saving, check that the tool's content still launches correctly in a course.

Deactivate an LTI tool

Deactivating an LTI tool preserves its statistics, but existing LTI activities using this tool become unavailable to learners: they see a message that the content is no longer available.

1. In the left sidebar, hover over the group, then click  Settings.
2. In the left menu, click Integrations.
3. In the left, click LTI tools.
4. Click the LTI tool.
5. At the bottom, click Deactivate tool.
