LTI 1.3 Tool Provider setup

Add a new LTI 1.3 tool provider

  1. From the Administrator Panel, select LTI Tool Providers.

  2. Select Register LTI 1.3/Advantage Tool.

  3. In the Client ID field, enter the Application ID: 7b8a1975-96b9-4981-ac38-1c0dfe3e32eb

  4. Select Submit.

    You're brought to a page that displays the application's configuration settings from the Developer Portal. These values are read-only and can't be changed within Blackboard Learn. The Institution Policies section pulls preferences from the Global Properties. You can manage settings for the individual provider here.
    Any choices you make for the individual provider override the Global Properties.

  5. Set the Tool Status to Approved.

  6. Institution Policies should be set to send the Role in Course and Name.

  7. Allow Grade Services should be set to Yes.

  8. Membership Services and User Acknowledgement Message can be set to No.

  9. Select Submit to register the tool.

10. Finally, send an email to help@softchalk.com with the subject line Blackboard LTI 1.3 Registration and provide the Blackboard system URL; we will perform the final registration to enable the Tool Provider’s connection with SoftChalk ScoreCenter.

Manage placements

  1. From the LTI Tool Providers page, open the SoftChalk Cloud – LTI 1.3 tool's menu and select Manage Placements.

  2. Select Create Placement.

  3. Type a Label. This is the name that appears to users in a course; we suggest using SoftChalk Cloud Link Selector.

  4. Type a Handle. Because this becomes the database entry, it must be unique and can only contain alphanumeric, underscore, or dash characters; we suggest SCLinkSelect.

  5. To make the placement available, select Yes.

  6. Set the Type as a Deep Linking content tool.

  7. Leave the option to Launch in New Window deselected.

  8. Fill in the Target Link URI with: https://www.softchalkcloud.com/lti/content

  9. Select Submit.

IMPORTANT: Once you have created the LTI 1.3 SoftChalk Tool Provider, you do not want to delete the tool provider.

If the LTI 1.3 Tool Provider is deleted and re-created in the LMS, a new key/secret is generated. Since the key/secret is different, all content published using the prior key/secret will break. Faculty will need to re-create the assignments.
