Once you have an LTI Advantage tool registered, you can deploy it from the External Learning Tools page. When deploying a new tool, provide a name, associate it to a registered tool, set the available extensions, and set the security settings:
- Anonymous: An option to completely anonymize the user details of the launch. When selected, all the fields under User Information become unavailable.
- User Information: Determines the tool's ability to send the context information around the current user. D2L supports sending the user's:
- Name
- Email
- User ID
- Username
- Org Defined Id
- Org Unit Information: Determines whether the org unit information will be shared with the tool on LTI launch. If enabled, Brightspace sends:
- Org Unit Id
- Course Name
- Course Code
- Org Unit Type
- LIS Course Offering Sourcedid
- LIS Course Section Sourcedid
- When the course does not have a section or the launching user is not enrolled in any section, this is the course offering value.
- If the launching user is enrolled in a single section, this is the section value.
- If the launching user is enrolled in multiple sections, this is the value for the first section alphabetically.
Link Information: Determines whether the launch will include details about the LTI link itself. Makes the title and description data available to the launch
