LTI 1.3 Integration Guide

Ember registers as an LTI 1.3 tool provider so teachers can launch Ember from Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, and other compatible LMS platforms — with secure single sign-on and optional grade passback.

Before you begin

Your district or institution needs an active Ember tenant. An Ember administrator will provide:

• Client ID and platform registration details
• Tenant-specific endpoint URLs (OIDC login, launch URL, public keyset)
• Placement guidance for course navigation and assignment selection

Do not publish generic endpoint URLs. Each deployment uses tenant-scoped credentials. Request your registration packet from support@ember.edu or your Ember account team.

Canvas (Instructure)

1. In Canvas, open Admin → Developer Keys and create an LTI Key (LTI 1.3).
2. Enter the Redirect URI, JWKS URL, and Client ID from your Ember registration packet.
3. Under Settings → Apps, add the tool and enable placements such as Course navigation and Assignment selection (optional).
4. Choose LTI 1.3 with the Public JWK key method.

Ember supports LTI Advantage services including grade passback (AGS), roster membership (NRPS), and deep linking where your contract includes them.

Moodle

1. Go to Site administration → Plugins → External tool → Manage tools.
2. Choose configure a tool manually.
3. Set LTI version to 1.3.
4. Enter the Public keyset URL, Initiate login URL, and Redirection URI(s) from your Ember registration packet.
5. Enable Content-Item Message if you plan to use deep linking.

Schoology & other platforms

Any LMS that supports LTI 1.3 and OpenID Connect can connect to Ember. Share your platform name with our integrations team — we provide a platform-specific checklist and test plan.

Similarity & integrity (optional)

Districts with a Turnitin license can enable similarity checking through Ember’s integrity workflow. This is configured during onboarding; it is not required for core LTI launch.

Verification & support

After registration, your Ember administrator can validate the connection from Admin → LTI Configuration in the Ember dashboard.
