How do I add an external tool on a Lessons page?
Instructors can add links to external tools, or LTI items, on a Lessons page. This allows instructors to seamlessly incorporate content from third party applications within the site.
Go to the desired Lessons page.
If you titled your page something other than Lessons, select the title of the page as it appears in your Tool Menu.
Click on the Lessons page title in the Tool Menu to display the page.
Note: The default or blank Lessons page contains text and images that explain the basic functionality of the Lessons tool.
Click Add Content, and then select Add Learning App.
From the Add Content drop-down menu, select Add Learning App.
Specify the external tool.
Select a tool from items already configured for your institution.
If your institution has already configured one or more external tools at the system level, you may choose from any of the tools listed here.
To add the external tool or a reference to content or an activity within the external tool, follow the instructions for the external tool provided by the third-party.
The selected reference to the external tool will now appear on the Lessons page.
