Interested in seeing IntelliBoard inside Canvas? Not a problem, create an LTI connection. Click HERE to see how it will be shown inside your LMS system.
Before you get started...
- Prior to creating an LTI connection, you must have an IntelliBoard subscription. Sign up for IntelliBoard here, or work with your Canvas partner.
- Prior to creating an LTI connection, you must create a successful connection between your IntelliBoard subscription and your Canvas system. Additional information on the connection can be found here.
- From the Canvas side, enable the "LOR External Tools" feature option. Questions able enabling the LOR External Tool should be directed to your Canvas CSM.
- The Global Navigation menu is tied to having Canvas Commons turned on within an environment. If you have Commons turned on, you can add items to the Global Navigation Menu, if not, they aren't able to be added. As Commons is not accessible within the test environments, this means that (by unfortunate default) items added to the main Navigation menu will simply not show up in the test or beta environments.
- NOTE: Your IntelliBoard Account and your Canvas Admin User account must have matching emails for LTI.

The LTI can be alternatively added to the course menu. By doing this, teachers from one sub-account can use IntelliBoard and InContact inside the LMS without having to add it to the global navigation menu where users without IntelliBoard accounts would see it too.
To create the LTI in the course menu, use the URL with =course at the end. Ex/ https://lti.intelliboard.net/lti.php/config/canvas/us/3193?type=course. When the LTI is added to the course menu, it is not visible on the global navigation menu.
FAQs
Why "App Restart Application" error appears when you try to load the IntelliBoard via LTI in Google Chrome?
Google Chrome has a specific setting Block third-party cookies that impacts on the LTI displaying. You'll need to go to browser settings, switch this off, and clear your browser cache to bring the LTI back.
