Interested in seeing IntelliBoard inside Canvas? Not a problem, let's create an LTI connection.
Before you get started...
- Prior to creating an LTI connection, you must have an IntelliBoard subscription. Sign up for IntelliBoard here you will need an invitation code, please contact inquiries@intelliboard.net or work with your Canvas Instructure 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.
