Configuring your Open edX instance as an LTI Tool Provider#

Tags: site operator concept

You can configure your Open edX instance to act as a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.1 tool provider, serving course content inside external learning management systems such as Canvas or Blackboard.

Setting this up involves two tasks:

  1. Enable the LTI provider feature on your Open edX instance.

  2. Create LTI consumer credentials for each external LMS that will consume your content.

Once configured, course teams can construct LTI URLs for specific pieces of content and add them to the external LMS. See Your instance as an LTI Tool Provider for the educator-facing steps.
