Overview

This article explains how to use the GoOpenNC LTI 1.3 tool to add openNCCC content to Canvas courses. We will call this the GoOpenNC LTI tool in this article. 

Accessing My Collections, My Items, and My Groups

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

Add a GoOpenNC LTI Link to Your Canvas Course

  1. Log in to Canvas and navigate to your desired course. 

  2. Select Modules from the left side of the screen.

  1. Select the + button for the module where you want to add the link.

  1. Choose External Tool from the Add dropdown menu, and then select GoOpenNC. With this GoOpenNC LTI tool, you can view the content collections. (Your LMS Administrator may name the tool something other than GoOpenNC. Watch for communications from the LMS Administrator to confirm the name.)

  2. If a login screen appears, click the "Link Accounts" button to verify your identity. You only have to link your credentials once, the very first time you use the LTI tool.




  3. After you log in, review the Collections available. (This sample screen may not reflect your collections.)

    Tip: In Canvas, the My Collections/My Items/My Groups window does not have a scroll bar, but you may see more items if you grab the bottom right corner of the window and drag it down.




Search, Browse, Preview, and Select Content to Add to your Course

After you select your desired course and add the openNCCC LTI tool to view your Collections, the steps below apply to Collections, Items, and Groups. Here we will focus on Collections.
