Brightspace

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

Step 1: Send info to EXAMIND

In order for EXAMIND's iframe to load within your Brightspace instance, EXAMIND must white-list your Brightspace domain by adding it to its content-security-policy HTTP header. Please send us your production Brightspace Instance URL (example: https://devcop.brightspace.com).

Information can be emailed to support@examind.io.

Step 2: Register LTI Tool

From the Admin Tools menu, click Manage Extensibility:

From the LTI Advantage tab, click Register Tool:

Choose Dynamic, and add one of the following Tool initiation registration endpoints:

  • For US data center users: https://lti.examind.io/register

  • For Canadian data center users: https://lti-ca.examind.io/register

Click Register and a new tab will open.

When registering a tool in Brightspace, a new tab will open and perform several redirects before remaining blank - this is a known issue that doesn't affect proper tool registration. Despite the blank page, your tool will be correctly registered in the system; simply close this tab and return to the Register a Tool page to continue.

From the Admin Tools menu, click Manage Extensibility:

From the LTI Advantage tab, click All, filter, find, and click EXAMIND:
