Steps to Add G-W's External Learning Tool

Below are the steps which describe how to set up the External Learning Tool at the admin level. Before getting started, please make sure that you have the Integration PDF that was provided via email with the Common Cartridge file. The LTI Tool Configuration section has the information we will use to add the External Learning Tool.

1. Log in to your D2L account as an administrator.
2. In the upper right-hand corner, select the Gear icon to access the Admin Tools. Important: If you do not have the Admin Tools, please reach out to your D2L administrator and they will have to set up the External Learning Tool for you.
3. Next, under the Organization Related section, select External Learning Tools.
   
4. Select Manage Tool Providers and click on the New Tool Provider button.
   
5. At this time, you will need the information provided to you on the Integration PDF under the LTI Tool Configuration section.
6. From the PDF document, copy the Tool Launch URL, and paste it in the Launch Point field under Tool Provider Settings.
   
7. From the PDF file, copy the Secret and paste it in the corresponding field. 
8. Click on the checkbox next to Use custom tool consumer information instead of default.
9. From the PDF file, copy the Key and paste it in the corresponding field.
   
10. It is up to the Administrator what they would like to name this Tool Provider, but G-W LTI or G-W External Tool works for most schools.
11. An administrator may choose to provide a description and/or a contact email which can be [email protected].
12. Under Visibility, Allow users to use this tool provider should be checked.
    
13. Under Security Settings, leave the current boxes checked, and also check Send LTI user ID and LTI role list to tool provider as well as Send system Org Defined ID to tool provider.
    
14. Lastly, click on the Add Org Units button and add your specific Organization Unit.
    
15. Select the checkbox for the name of the organization that you need for this course. Under Options, select All descendants and select Insert.
