Follow the steps below to connect your D2L environment to your SI Cloud courses. Please note that some steps must be performed by your institution's LMS administrator.
Complete this process for each SKU before you make section copies in your LMS.
If this is the first course SKU to integrate with LTI 1.3 at your institution, follow steps 1-5 below.
If you're integrating additional course SKUs after the first, you'll only need to repeat steps 3-5 for each unique SKU after the first.
1. Introduce D2L to Cloud (Admin only)
User Role: LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per institution
During this step, you'll enter information about your D2L environment into SI Cloud. This lets Cloud know that it can accept data and requests from your LMS.
See instructions on how to introduce D2L to Cloud here.
2. Create a new tool in D2L (Admin only)
User : LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per institution
During this step, you'll enter information about SI Cloud into your D2L environment. This helps D2L know that Cloud is a trusted platform and lays the foundation for linking individual courses.
See instructions on how to create a new tool here.
3. Create a new deployment and link in D2L(Admin only)
User Role: LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per course/SKU
During these steps, you'll prepare D2L to connect successfully with individual courses in SI Cloud.
See instructions on how to deploy your new tool here.
4. Add your lesson links in D2L
User Role: Any Frequency: Once per course/SKU
Once your first course is connected, you'll create a lesson link in your D2L course for each lesson in SI Cloud. This allows students to easily access their labs.
See instructions on how to add your lesson links here.
5. Copy your fully integrated course as needed
User Role: Varies by institution Frequency: As needed
If you're running multiple sections of this course this semester, you'll make the copies now and each copy will be fully integrated. This is the same procedure you'll follow when you're ready to set up sections for next term.
