To add the Slice LTI 1.3 tool in OpenLearning, the tool needs to be configured in both the Slice Account area and in the OpenLearning Admin page.

We recommend having the Connect LMS page* on the BEST Network open side by side with your OpenLearning Admin page so information can be easily copied between the websites.

OpenLearning provides multiple ways that an LTI tool can appear in the course page. You can choose between an:

  • Embedded image
  • Modal that opens on top of the page
  • Open the resource in a New browser window

You may like to set up multiple version of the tool depending on your preference(s) for how images appear within the course page.

 

Create an LTI connection for OpenLearning

1. Open the Connect LMS section on the Slice Account Page.

2. Click the Add New Connection button and choose LTI 1.3 from the drop down list.

 

3. Keep this page open as the information will be required while setting up OpenLearning.

2. Choose Integrations from the settings list

3. Scroll down to LTI Tool Providers and click Add LTI tool provider

4. Choose a name to identify the tool e.g. Slice Embed
(note: because OpenLearning provides multiple ways that an LTI tool can appear in the course page it is important to note the set up you choose in the title to help you and others in your institution identify how the Slice image or activity will appear in the course page.)
