Add LTI content to a course

  • Updated

Before you can add LTI content to a course, a group admin must connect an LTI tool for your group.

Add LTI content

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
  2. On the right of the course row, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the left sidebar, below the list of existing activities, click Add activity.
  4. Scroll to the External content section, and select the integration.
  5. Paste the Content URL of the LTI resource.
  6. On the bottom right, click Add content.

See the consequences of adding an activity to an active course.

LTI content is identical across all language versions of a course, and can't be copied to another course.

Enable or disable completion gating

When completion gating is enabled on an LTI activity, learners only see the following activities once the tool reports the activity as completed. When it is disabled, learners can continue without completing it. Completion gating is disabled by default.

Only enable it if the tool sends a completion event. Otherwise, learners can never get past the activity.

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
  2. On the right of the course row, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the left sidebar, click on the LTI activity.
  4. Turn Require completion to continue on or off.

The change applies immediately to learners who already started the course. Learners who completed the activity before you enabled completion gating are not blocked.

Completion gating is independent of question gating.

Edit LTI content

See Edit the contents of a course.

Play LTI content as a learner

Learners play LTI content from within the course, without logging in to the tool separately.

  • The content opens in an iframe, in the same tab or a different tab depending on how the group admin configured the tool.
  • Learners can expand the iframe to full screen.
  • If completion gating is enabled, learners can't click Next until the tool reports the activity as completed. The following activities then unlock automatically. Learners can also click Check completion to check right away.
  • The course's forum is disabled for LTI activities.
  • Learners can't review LTI content after completing it. To see it again, they must retake the course.
  • On mobile, learners see a message directing them to complete the activity on a desktop. Full mobile support isn't available yet.
