    1. Label: Lumen One Platform LTI 1.3

Confirm Domain

Access to Lumen Community requires some domains to be safelisted. If the school domain includes “blackboard”, safelisting is not required. However, custom domains must be safelisted. Provide the Lumen Support team with the school domain if safelisting is required.

Testing the LTI Integration to Lumen

After the Lumen Support team receives your Deployment ID and has completed the necessary steps on the Lumen side, your LTI 1.3 connection to Lumen One Platform should now be set up. You will receive notification from the Lumen team that you are ready to test the LTI 1.3 integration. We ask that you perform a short guided test to check that the integration was completed successfully, and confirm that Lumen One Platform courses will work correctly within your institution’s LMS.

Create a Test Course Shell

  1. Create a new course shell to test the integration. This shell should be new, with no existing links. 
  2. Create your test course with the following information:
    1. Course Name:  Admin Config Test Lumen One
    2. Course ID: Admin_Config_Test_Lumen One
  3. Important! This test course shell cannot be reused by instructors. Please do not delete the Lumen One links within this test course and provide this same shell to an instructor.
