Overview

Installation Process Overview

Here is a high-level overview of the installation process. 

  1. After ISKME releases the LTI 1.3 tool to GoOpen CT for Canvas, the GoOpen CT Administrator creates the Tool Consumer in GoOpen CT Site Admin using the same Auth login URL, Auth token URL, and Key set URL for each new tool consumer (provided by ISKME).

  2. The GoOpen CT Administrator sends an email to the LMS Administrator for each college using Canvas. The email contains a link to this article and the Redirect URL, OpenID Connect Initiation URL, JWKS URL, and the Icon URL. 

  3. The LMS Administrator configures the Developer Keys for the LTI 1.3 tool for each school in Canvas, installs the tool in each Canvas account, sends each school’s unique Client ID and Deployment ID to the GoOpen CT Administrator, and ensures that the State button on the Developer Keys screen in Canvas is Off (red button).

  4. The GoOpen CT Administrator adds the Client ID and Deployment ID to the Tool Consumer in the GoOpen CT Site Admin and asks the LMS Administrator to change the State button in Canvas to On (green button) and to begin testing in Canvas. 

  5. The LMS Administrator changes the State button on the Developer Keys screen in Canvas to On (green button). 

  6. The LMS admin notifies Canvas instructors of the GoOpen CT LTI tool name so they can add content to their courses.

Content Selection

The LTI 1.3 tool allows any educator to browse and embed media objects alongside other content within assignments, or to select content which comprises entire modules, lessons, or units. All users can search content added to GoOpen CT Collections. Additionally, users can also browse or search content from Group Shared Folders and personal My Items libraries, if that content has been configured and made available. 


Authentication and Account Provisioning

The tool will automatically create new GoOpen CT accounts for instructors if they don’t already have one, and grant instructors access to all of their college’s private GoOpen CT collections and all shared GoOpen CT collections. Account information from GoOpen CT is not collected or stored for student users. Instead, students have view-only access to GoOpen CT content that their instructors have embedded in Canvas courses.

Below are preview images of the content provided by the LTI tool. When an instructor adds a new activity using the GoOpen CT LTI tool, the instructor will be able to search and browse items in their college’s Collections, their own personal saved Items, and their GoOpen CT Group folders.
