Installation Process Overview
Here is a high-level overview of the installation process.
The GoOpenNC site Administrator creates the Tool Consumer in GoOpenNC Admin using the same Auth login URL, Auth token URL, and Key set URL for each new tool consumer (provided by ISKME).
The GoOpenNC site Administrator sends an email to the LMS Administrator for each institution using Canvas. The email contains a link to this article and the Redirect URL, OpenID Connect Initiation URL, JWKS URL, and the Icon URL.
The LMS Administrator configures the Developer Keys for the LTI 1.3 tool for each school in Canvas, installs the tool in each Canvas account, sends each school’s unique Client ID and Deployment ID to the GoOpenNC site Administrator, and ensures that the State button on the Developer Keys screen in Canvas is Off (red button).
The GoOpenNC site Administrator adds the Client ID and Deployment ID to the Tool Consumer in the GoOpenNC site Site Admin and asks the LMS Administrator to change the State button in Canvas to On (green button) and to begin testing in Canvas.
The LMS Administrator changes the State button on the Developer Keys screen in Canvas to On (green button).
The LMS admin notifies their instructors of the LTI tool name so they can add content to their courses.
Supported Browsers and Platforms
The LTI 1.3 tool is supported in these browsers and platforms.
Content Selection
The LTI 1.3 tool allows any educator to browse and embed media objects alongside other content within assignments, or to select content which comprises entire modules, lessons, or units. All users can search content added to GoOpenNC Collections. Additionally, users can also browse or search content from Group Shared Folders and personal My Items libraries, if that content has been configured and made available.
Authentication and Account Provisioning
The tool will automatically create new GoOpenNC accounts for instructors if they don’t already have one, and grant instructors access to all GoOpenNC Featured Collections. Account information for student users is not collected or stored. Instead, students have view-only access to GoOpenNC content that their instructors have embedded in Canvas courses.

Below are preview images of the content provided by the LTI tool. When an instructor adds a new activity using the LTI tool, the instructor will be able to search and browse items in GoOpenNC Collections, their own personal saved Items, and their GoOpenNC Group folders.
