Sakai and Generic LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3

Last updated Follow

Any LMS system that supports LTI can use Course Evaluations & Surveys as an LTI Service Provide (LTI SP) and authenticate users in Course Evaluations & Surveys , if matching usernames exist in Course Evaluations & Surveys.

Sakai And Generic LTI Integration Steps

  1. If LTI is not currently enabled for your Course Evaluations & Surveys Account (check Account > Integrations > LTI), contact our Support Team by logging into our Help center to enable LTI for your account in Course Evaluations & Surveys.
  2. Login to your account in Course Evaluations & Surveys and click on Account > Integrations > LTI.
  3. The LTI integration requires Consumer Key, Shared Secret Key and the URL (#1 in the image below). Version 1.0 just indicates that Course Evaluations & Surveys supports LTI 1.0. Use this information to configure the LTI in the 3rd party (e.g. LMS) system.

  4. The LTI sends user info, including usernames, in the requests. You will need to identify what parameter carries username.

    Examples:

    1. username: testuser
    2. user_id: testuser
    3. user_name: testuser

    Once you identify the username parameter name, you will then add that to "Username Parameter Name" in the Course Evaluations & Surveys LTI settings page (#2 in the image below) and save.

    An LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) page under the Integration Settings section, showing fields for the Consumer Key, URL and Shared Secret with arrows pointing to them labeled 1, as well as fields for the version, and a Username Parameter Name labeled 2, along with a Save button.

These directions are for the user integration only, and provide a static link to Course Evaluations & Surveys.

NOTE

If you are also using the Instructure Canvas LMS, changing the Username Parameter Name would affect the Canvas LMS integration. This change will NOT affect other LMS integrations.

LTI 1.3 Integration Steps

  1. Login to your account in Course Evaluations & Surveys and click on Account > Integrations > LTI 1.3.

    An Account menu page showing navigation sections for Reporting, Custom Question and an Integrations list that includes LTI and LTI 1.3, with arrows pointing to the Account menu and the LTI 1.3 option.

  2. The LTI 1.3 integration requires Issuer, Client ID, Deployment ID, Public Keyset URL, Authentication Request URL. Use this information to configure the LTI in the 3rd party (e.g. LMS) system.

    An LTI 1.3 (Learning Tools Interoperability) page under the Integration Settings sections, showing multiple input fields including Issuer, Client ID, Deployment ID, Public Keyset URL, Authentication Request URL, Target Link URL, Public JWK URL, and Launch URL, along with a Save button at the bottom.

These directions are for the user integration only, and provide a static link to Course Evaluations & Surveys.
