4. Make sure all of the security options are selected.

5. In the provider availability section, ensure each of your org units has access to the Learning Science Resources LTI.

6. Select "Save and Close" to finish.

Option 2: Add new LTI provider to an org unit(s)

An org unit in Brightspace is the standard building block and can represent a department, semester, course, module etc… Each org unit has an org unit code used to identify it.

1. Log into Brightspace.

2. Go to Module tools > Admin > External Learning Tools > Manage Tool Providers > New Tool Provider.
