Note: If you are using custom domains, all of these fields/keys should be based on your custom domain.
To create an LTI integration ad hoc, for an individual virtual lab, go to the Training tab and click the experience you want to add an LMS to. Select the Details tab on the top left and click Connect with LMS at the bottom.
This will open the LMS Integration window.
To connect your LMS with a CloudShare experience, select the desired LTI version:
- None: Choose this option if you want to disable the LTI integration.
- LTI 1.1: Copy and paste the three CloudShare keys from the dialog box into your LMS.
- LTI 1.3: This version requires mutual authentication, involving both CloudShare keys and LMS keys for enhanced security.
- Copy each authentication key from CloudShare and paste it into the corresponding field in your LMS course.
- Copy the relevant fields from your LMS to your CloudShare environment. Refer to your organization's LMS specifications or internal procedures to determine which LMS fields to use. Once the keys are added and authenticated, click Save to complete the integration.
If you’ve completed an LTI 1.3 integration, you can also click Connect with LMS again to open the integration window, and you will see the retained configuration.
In both versions, you can connect multiple experiences to the same LMS course; however, LTI 1.1 allows you to connect an experience to one course on your LMS, while LTI 1.3 allows you to connect an experience to multiple courses.
Once an experience is connected, it serves as a template in the LMS. Adding more courses to the same experience will create copies based on the initial template configuration. Connecting an experience to a new course will create a duplicate of the experience. Any changes made to the course will only be reflected in the copy of the experience created for the course.
