- LTI URLs for your LearnSci LabSims and Smart Worksheets can be found on your LearnSci Homepage. If you do not have access to your homepage or need help finding the LTI URL for your LearnSci resource, please get in touch.
- The LTI URL should have the following format: https://resources.learnsci.co.uk/enrol/lti/tool.php?id=xxxxx (where xxxxx is a set of numbers unique to the LabSim or Smart Worksheet you are adding).
- If you would like student grades for the LearnSci LabSim or Smart Worksheet to appear in a new column in your grade centre, you need to request this by contacting support@learnsci.com. We will provide you with a unique LTI URL for this and a different instruction guide.
