How do I integrate LTI with Istation?
Understand the basics of integrating Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) with Istation to create a better, more efficient learning environment.
To configure and enable SSO with LTI (for teachers and students), please visit Single Sign-On Settings.
Step-by-Step Guide to Configure Istation with SSO (with LTI):
Step 1: Visit Single Sign-On Settings. This link will only open for Istation Managers.
Step 2: From here you will be able to:
- Select and enable LTI as the SSO technology
-
Acquire the Launch URL
- the Launch URL is used to direct the user to the Istation app or website
-
Acquire the consumer key
- the OAuth consumer key used to identify the Tool Consumer to Istation
-
Acquire (or provide us) the consumer secret
- The OAuth consumer secret used to validate LTI Launch links from the Tool Consumer. This field is populated with a unique value but may be configured with your chosen password.
-
Specify the User ID type
- the field in Istation used to match the LTI field for User Id
- "School assigned ID" is most used.
- the student ID for students and "ID/Employee Number" for teachers and managers
- If you choose "3rd party ID" - let us know and we'll make sure we allow this 3rd party ID to be a field you can all include in your roster import (so we may have this in our system to use for SSO purposes) . This field is excellent for any value that is not native to both student(s) and staff.
Teacher Login Vs. Student Login:
- When a teacher signs in, it will sign them into www.istation.com.
- When a student signs in, it will launch app.istation.com for all devices besides iPads (for those with iPads it will launch the downloaded application).
