If you are testing out your own graded LTI linked lessons in an LMS to confirm the grade book connectivity, there are a couple of things to be aware of as the Cloud account owner/course instructor:

  • If you are logged into SoftChalk Cloud you will not be able to establish a connection to ScoreCenter. The two sessions interfere with one another and in order to produce a valid test you need to ensure that you have logged outof your Cloud account or use an incognito web browser.

...

  • If you are logged in as an Instructor in the course, you will not launch the 'Student' view of the LTI lesson, and it will not connect to ScoreCenter in such a way that it will pass any grades. Be sure to use log in as a test student enrolled into the course or impersonate a student user enrolled into the course.

  • If you are logged into the LMS admin account and attempt to access an LTI link, it will likely fail. LTI is only intended to work with users assigned 'Instructor/Faculty' or 'Student' roles in an LMS. Oftentimes an admin is also enrolled into the course as admin, but it is best to test things with a instructor account if possible.

3. Impersonate an enrolled student in your Buzz course or log into your course as an enrolled student.
