Before you start
  1. You will need an initiate login URL (provided by LearnSci)


In some cases Dynamic Registration of the tool is unsuccessful due to network restrictions stripping out parts of the registration URL. In this situation, a manual configuration may resolve any issues. To set this up:

1. As an admin user, go to "Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > External tool > Manage tools"

2. Click "Configure a tool manually"

3. Change the field "LTI version" to "LTI 1.3"

4. Change "Public key type" to "Keyset URL"

5. Enable "Supports Deep Linking (Content-Item Message)"

6. Set “Default Launch Container” to “new window”

7. (recommended) Set “Tool configuration usage” to “show in activity chooser and as a preconfigured tool)

8. Add the following details:

Tool Name: LearnSci LTI 1.3

Tool Description: LabSims & Smart Worksheets



Initiate login URL: To be provided by LearnSci

Redirection URI(s): (add both links on separate lines)



9. Save the configuration.

10. On the resulting tool card, click "View configuration details" and return these details to LearnSci:
  1. Platform ID
  2. Client ID
  3. Deployment ID
  4. Public keyset URL
  5. Access token URL
  6. Authentication request URL

LearnSci will then complete the configuration and let you know when you should be able to test the new tool.
