Add an LTI 1.3 Tool

  1. Login Into Blackboard Experience
  2. On the Administrator Panel, under Integrations, select LTI Tool Providers.
  3. Select Register LTI 1.3/Advantage Tool.

  4. Enter the Client ID or Application ID provided by the tool vendor. If you’re developing your own application, you can sign up on the Developer Portal and register your application to get the Client ID.

     

    • Change Client ID to 0fcc56e7-eee1-4834-b140-4970c943afcd
    • Select Submit to proceed. The application's configuration settings from the Developer Portal will be shown on the page.

    • Some LTI tools support the Dynamic Registration service to simplify the registration process if administrators are asked to register the tool themselves. If a tool uses Dynamic Registration, select Dynamic Registration on the My Applications page. Enter the registration URL given to you by the tool provider and follow the steps required by the tool provider.

       

  5. Select Submit. The application's configuration settings from the Developer Portal will be shown on the page.
  6. The fields are read-only but you can select the status of the tool as Approved or Excluded.

  7. The following information needs to be added to the Tool Provider Customer Parameters as to map the user fields:   

     

    • snParameter=@[email protected]_id@X@ - Student ID to Student Number field
    • emailParameter=$Person.email.primary – User primary email to the Portfolio email  
  1. The Institution Policies section pulls preferences from the Global Properties. Here you can manage settings for the individual provider by activating or deactivating the User Fields to Send checkboxes: Role in Course, Name, and Email Address. You can also allow or disallow grade service access on a per tool basis.
  2. By selecting Yes in the Allow Membership Service Access section, the tool can ask for all or any subset of users in a course (instructors and students). If you select No, the tool won’t be able to access that information and the option Show User Acknowledgment Message becomes available. By selecting Yes in that option, you can show a custom message to your users, for example: “You’re about to launch a 3rd party LTI tool."
  3. Any choices you make for the individual provider override the Global Properties.
  4. Select Submit to add the LTI 1.3/Advantage tool.
