      3. Lumen Platform Integration with LTI 1.1

      Course Level LTI - Available for Canvas/Brightspace

      To enable faculty to use Lumen Learning courses from within your LMS, it is recommended to set up the learning tool interoperability (LTI) connection at a global level.

      In some cases, you may need to add the LTI connection at a course level. Please note: faculty may not have permission to do so within their courses. If course level LTI is configured, you will need to apply these settings for each course per semester.

      During this process, you will need the consumer key and secret provided to you by Lumen Support (support@lumenlearning.com).

      Add Lumen as a new external LTI application

      Please select your Learning Management System for detailed instructions:

      • Canvas
      • Brightspace (D2L)
      • Blackboard and Moodle: Course-level LTI is not available. You will need to contact your LMS Administrator for assistance.
