D2L Brightspace Additional LTI 1.3 Integration

Introduction

Welcome to the HelioCampus D2L Brightspace Additional LTI 1.3 Integration Guide. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for configuring optional LTI 1.3 tools—in addition to the default LTI 1.3 tool configured D2L Brightspace LTI 1.3 Integration —to integrate HelioCampus Assessment & Credentialing with Canvas using the LTI 1.3 standard and completing the HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing Additional LTI 1.3 Form.

HelioCampus Additional LTI 1.3 Tool

If needed, you can create multiple LTI 1.3 connectors for different purposes, such as one directing users to the Assignments page and another to the Survey page.

HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing Additional LTI 1.3 Form

Please complete the HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing Additional LTI 1.3 Form to provide the necessary details for LMS integration.

Start HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing Additional LTI 1.3 Form

Required Fields:

• Institution Name: Select your institution from the list.

• LMS: Choose D2L.

• LMS Contact Name: Enter your full name.

• LMS Contact Email: Provide your email address.

• LMS Server URL: Enter your LMS URL without https:// or trailing slashes (e.g., d2l.institution.edu or institution.brightspace.com).

  • If your D2L Brightspace instance has a vanity URL (e.g., d2l.institution.edu) that most users use to access D2L Brightspace, be sure to use that URL.

Keep the form open, as you will be filling it out while completing the steps below. Look for the HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing Additional LTI 1.3 Form in the upcoming instructions.

Additional LTI 1.3 Tool Unique Identifier

You must create a unique identifier to distinguish this connector from the default one set up during the initial integration.
For example, if you are creating an LTI 1.3 connection that directs users to the Assignment Linking page, you could use a unique identifier like "assignmentlinking" or "linking".

Note:

• This value will not be visible to users.

• It cannot contain spaces.

Type the unique identifier you came up with in the LTI 1.3 Unique Identifier field on the HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing Additional LTI 1.3 Form.
