Set up an LTI Consumer with Reusable LTI Configuration

Tags: educator how-to

Overview

Reusable LTI configurations are created once by an administrator in Django Admin (LTI Store) and identified by a filter key. In Studio, you can point an LTI Consumer component to that reusable configuration, avoiding repeated copy/paste of credentials.

Before you start

• An administrator has created a reusable LTI 1.3 configuration in Django Admin.

• You have the reusable configuration’s filter key. It may be shared as a value like lti_store:reference_tool

• You have edit access to the course in Studio.

Note

The following steps correspond to an LTI 1.3 configuration.

Add the LTI Consumer component

1. Open your course in Studio.

2. Navigate to the unit where you want to add the tool.

3. Add Component → Advanced → LTI Consumer.

Configure the LTI Consumer to use the reusable configuration

1. Open the component’s settings (Edit).

2. Set Configuration type to Reusable configuration.

3. Set LTI version to LTI 1.3.

4. Set Reusable configuration ID:

   • Enter the filter key for the reusable configuration, typically the slug value prefixed as shown in your instance (for example, lti_store:reference_tool).

5. (Optional) Update the Display name and any course-facing settings as needed.

6. Save.

Publish and test

• Publish the unit.

• In the LMS, open the unit and launch the LTI tool to verify it loads as expected.

What changes compared to on-block configuration

• No tool credentials are entered on the block.

• Updates to the centralized configuration in Django Admin apply to all blocks that reference it.
