EchoVideo provides integration with a variety of Learning Management Systems (LMS) using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard. LTI is a method for providing authentication information and communication links between two learning tools. This allows EchoVideo to act as a content provider and pass captures and other content to the LMS, the content consumer.

EchoVideo has the following LMS products pre-selectable. You can integrate with any LMS product via LTI:

• Canvas
• BlackBoard
• Moodle
• Sakai
• Desire2Learn

If you are using a different LMS, select Other and enter its name to identify it on the Configurations page. EchoVideo auto-generates a Key, Secret, and Host URL to use in the LTI tool configuration on the LMS

Configuring LTI communication between EchoVideo and your LMS involves identifying EchoVideo as an LTI Tool in the LMS, then copying the shared key, shared secret, and URL information between the systems.

BEST PRACTICE: Selecting and copying the values between EchoVideo and the LMS can be difficult and prone to selection errors. To select the full value of an LMS field, do the following:
1) Use your mouse to select a portion of the field values.
2) Press Ctrl + A / Command + A to select all of the field.
3) Press Ctrl + C / Command + C to copy the selected value.
4) Paste the value into the corresponding field in the LMS LTI External Tool configuration.

To enable LMS integration with EchoVideo

1. Log in to EchoVideo as an administrator.
2. Click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. From the Settings menu, select Institution Settings.

   General settings appears and Basic Info is selected by default.

4. Click Integration.

5. From the middle panel, select LMS / VLE.

   The LTI 1.3 tab is selected by default.

6. Select the LTI 1.1 tab.
7. Click the Add Configuration button as shown in the figure below.
   
    
8. In the Create LMS Profile dialog box that appears, use the LMS Name drop-down list to select the LMS you are using.
   Select Other if your LMS does not appear.
   
9. If you selected an LMS from the list, click Save. If you selected Other, enter a Name for the LMS to identify this configuration, then click Save.

The LMS profile appears on the LMS configurations page, as shown in the figure below. The LMS fields are automatically populated with the data generated by EchoVideo. This is the information you will copy into your LMS to create the EchoVideo External Tool that will be linked through the LMS courses and sections.

What is that Course ID Field? If you are directly linking LMS courses / sections to EchoVideo sections, you can use the Course ID Field value here to identify the FIELD Name in the LTI Payload that will contain the LMS course / section value. The value in the identified field can be used as the External System ID for the EchoVideo Section, directly linking the two without Instructor intervention. See Linking LMS Courses with EchoVideo Sections via the API for more details.
The default value is typically used to store the LMS course / section identifier. However, you can change this to any field name you like.
Once you make a change, click Save, located under the LMS Name in the profile.

Delete LMS Profile Configurations

If you no longer need an LMS profile, you can delete it.

IMPORTANT: If you delete the LMS configuration and then re-enable it, the field values will differ. You will need to update the LTI Tool link in the LMS to use the regenerated values.
