1. Acquire LTI Tool URLs

Accessing the necessary URLs from the LTI tool differs from tool to tool, so you may have to explore the tool and its help documentation.

You need to acquire the following URLS:

  • OpenID connect login URL
  • Tool key set URL
  • Tool redirect URL
  • Deep linking redirect URL (optional)

Using Buzz content in TutorKit

If you want to use Buzz content in TutorKit, you integrate using our Publish Anywhere tool. To access the necessary URLs for this integration follow: Publish Anywhere: Configure secure handshake

2. Register LTI tool with TutorKit

Once you've acquired the LTI tool URLs,  use them to configure TutorKit for the tool:

  1. Select Configure in the toolbar.
  2. Click LTI tools.
  3. Add tool.
  1. Provide:
    • A Description of the tool for your use; usually the name of the tool is best.
    • The OpenID connect login URL from the LTI tool.
    • The Tool key set URL from the LTI tool.
    • The Tool redirect URL from the LTI tool.
    • The Deep linking redirect URL from the LTI tool if you want to link directly to activities (optional).
  2. Click Add LTI tool.

Copy TutorKit platform settings

While you're on this screen, copy all of the URLs provided on the right side of the card. You need these to register TutorKit with the LTI tool.

3. Register TutorKit with the LTI tool

Using the values you copied above, register TutorKit with the LTI tool. This process varies from tool to tool, so you may have to explore the tool and its help documentation.  

The LTI tool now appears.
