Set up the Brightspace integration with LTI

  • Updated
error_outline LTI 1.2 will be deprecated on the 27th of August 2023. If you currently have any LTI 1.2 integrations configured on school level, you can continue to use these until then. New LTI 1.2 integrations can no longer be configured on school level. We advise institutions to replace their LTI 1.2 integration to version 1.3 as soon as possible as IMS Global stopped supporting version 1.2 on June 30, 2022. You can find more information on how to setup LTI 1.3 here.
error_outline Sending results from Ans to Brightspace is not possible using the Basic LTI Launch. The grades can be sent by making use of the Deeplinking service. 

If you are ready to start with the Brightspace integration through LTI 1.3, you will need to activate the integration at school level in Ans. You will need to set up the integration both in Ans and Brightspace.

The steps below will take you through this process, which is divided into different sections. First, you will need to prepare the set-up of the integration in Ans.

A dialogue will open up containing three personal links, which you will need to register the tool in Brightspace in the next section. You can identify the different links by the word they end in: logins, launches or lti/keys. Keep these links handy for the next section. You will need to fill these in the open fields in this pop-up after you are done setting up the integration in Brightspace.
