Creating an LTI 1.3 Configuration with Brightspace

The following information details how an Administrator can set up a new LTI 1.3 configuration to be used for Deep Linking capabilities between the Brightspace LMS and Echo360:

1. Creating the initial Echo360 LTI 1.3 Configuration
2. Creating the Brightspace LTI 1.3 Configuration
3. Updating the Echo360 LTI 1.3 Configuration
4. Creating one or more Deployments in Brightspace
5. Register a Deployment to the Echo360 LTI 1.3 Configuration
6. Create placements (Links) in Brightspace

In order to complete these steps, you must have an Administrator role within both Echo360 and the Brightspace LMS environments.

Step 1: Create an Initial EchoVideo LTI 1.3 Configuration

This step creates the initial EchoVideo LTI 1.3 configuration. The resulting information in EchoVideo will be used in Brightspace (Step 2).

1. Log into Echo360 as an administrator.
