LTI 1.3 Setup

This guide focuses on Edlink's recommended hybrid integration (API + LTI 1.3). However, it is also possible to configure your app using an LTI Advantage–only setup.

Please confirm with the learning app that an LTI-only source is something they support before proceeding.

Check out the following guide to get your LTI Advantage source set up in Edlink:

Step 1

In Schoology, click the icon with the three boxes in the top right corner.

Step 2

Click Admin → My Developer Apps → + Add App.

Step 3

Enter an app name and description.

Step 4

Select a category.

Step 5

Select LTI 1.3 App in the Type of App dropdown.

Step 6

Uncheck the Launch app in Schoology checkbox if you would like the app to open in a new window.

Step 7

Check Left Navigation.

Step 8

Fill out the following fields:

• LTI Advantage Extensions:
  Enable deep linking if your learning application supports grades and assignments passing back to Schoology.
• JWKS URL: This is found in the Edlink dashboard and labeled Keyset URL.
• Domain URL, OIDC Login Init URL, and Redirect URLs:
  These are found in the Edlink dashboard and labeled Launch URL.
  For help finding your launch URL, and JWK url, check out this guide:
