This article shows you how to install EXAMIND using LTI in Blackboard.

The following set of instructions apply for both Blackboard Classic and Blackboard Ultra.

Step 1: Registration

Register the EXAMIND LTI Tool in Blackboard

Log in with an administrator account and navigate to the Blackboard Administrator Panel by going to Admin > LTI Tool Provider.

Click on Register LTI 1.3/Advantage Tool.

The Client ID will differ depending on whether you're connecting to EXAMIND's Data Center in Canada or the USA. Please contact [e-mail] to request the Client ID.

After submitting, you will see the Modify LTI 1.3 Tool: EXAMIND panel, where most fields will be automatically filled. Make sure to set the Domain correctly to either lti.examind.io or lti-ca.examind.io. The tool status should be set to Approved.

Please save the deployment ID and send it to your EXAMIND representative

Under Institution Policies, all options should be selected. This includes Role in Course, Name, Email Address, and "Yes" for Allow grade service access and Allow Membership Service Access.

Select Submit.

By default, a placement and deployment will be automatically set up for the EXAMIND LTI tool. The placement is configured as a Deep Linking content tool with student access. This setup should be sufficient, but if you need to provide access to different users, you can customize another placement by selecting the EXAMIND LTI from the LTI Provider Tools list and accessing the Manage Placements option from the dropdown menu.

Step 2.2 Enable LTI Tools in a course (Blackboard classic)
