Set Up Gibbs-Smith Education LTI 1.3 in Canvas
Use this guide to configure the Gibbs-Smith Education LTI 1.3 application in Canvas. The setup requires Canvas administrator access and consists of two main parts: creating an LTI developer key and installing the application using the resulting Client ID.
After installation, you must send both the Client ID and Deployment ID to your Gibbs-Smith at support@gibbs-smith.com so Gibbs-Smith can complete the configuration.
Before you beginMake sure you have:
- Canvas administrator access
- A secure place to save the Client ID and Deployment ID generated during setup
Use the following values when creating the LTI key:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Redirect URI | https://lti.content2classroom.com/lti3 |
| Target Link URI | https://lti.content2classroom.com/lti3 |
| OpenID Connect Initiation URL | https://lti.content2classroom.com/oidc/login_initiations |
| Public JWK URL | https://lti.content2classroom.com/jwks/jwk |
- In Canvas, select Admin.
- Select All Accounts or the account where you want to install the integration.
- From the account navigation menu, select Developer Keys.
- Select + Developer Key, then choose + LTI Key.
- In Key Name, enter a name for the integration.
- In Redirect URIs, enter:
https://lti.content2classroom.com/lti3 - In Target Link URI, enter:
https://lti.content2classroom.com/lti3 - In Title, enter the display name you want Canvas to use for the tool.
- Enter a value in Description. This field is required.
- In OpenID Connect Initiation URL, enter:
https://lti.content2classroom.com/oidc/login_initiations - From the JWK Method menu, select Public JWK URL.
- In Public JWK URL, enter:
https://lti.content2classroom.com/jwks/jwk - Select Save.
The new developer key should now appear in the Developer Keys list.
Important: Copy and securely save the Client ID displayed with the new developer key. You will use it to install the application and will also need to send it to Gibbs-Smith.
The source guide illustrates this process with Canvas screenshots on pages 3–17, including the Developer Keys page and the LTI Key configuration form.
