Edit the settings of an LTI tool

Open the advanced settings of an LTI tool, change what you need and save.

You can change the settings of an LTI tool at any time, for example to raise the maximum number of users, switch to another LTI version or replace the secret. The launch URL stays the same.

Step by step

1. Open the tool

Click Courses in the menu, then Manage content for the course that holds the tool. Click the LTI tools tab and click the tool in the list.

2. Click Advanced settings

On the tool details page, click Advanced settings.

You can also click the pencil icon in the Action column of the list. That opens the same form.

3. Change the settings

The form shows all settings of the tool. The ones you change most often:

  • LTI version (1): switch between LTI 1.3 (Advantage) and LTI 1.1/2.0 (Legacy), for example when a client’s LMS doesn’t support 1.3.
  • Tool name (2): the name in your overview.
  • Maximum enrolled users (3): the maximum number of learners for this tool. 0 means unlimited.

Under Remote system you find the secret, grade synchronisation (1) and user synchronisation (2).

Every field is explained in LTI tool settings explained.

In this example we limit the tool to 25 users.

4. Save the changes

Click Save changes.

The Save changes button

You return to the LTI tools overview of the course. The new settings apply right away, also for learners who already registered.

If you change the Secret, your client has to update it in their LMS. Until then, the launch fails. If you turn on user synchronisation with unenrolment, the results of unenrolled learners are no longer available in Linqur.
