Set Up LTI Tool in MagicBox

Publishers will need to add the third-party tool details within Magicbox. The third-party tool information is required to establish the LTI configuration. The tool configuration includes:

• The information needed to securely communicate with the third-party tool.

• What user and class data needs to be shared with the tool.

Note: Magicbox will generate a unique platform (LTI Service) private and public key pair for each tool we integrate with, based on IMS recommendations. 

Follow the below steps to create an LTI platform on MagicBox to link with the third-party tool.

1. Log in to the portal.

2. Click "Setting" on the left-hand side portal.

5. Fill in the "Tool Details". 

• Name - LTI tool name

• Enter the Launch URL 

• Select the "Default Launch Container" from the dropdown menu - The launch container affects the display of the tool when launched from the course. Some launch containers provide more screen real estate to the tool, and others provide a more integrated feel within Magicbox.

  • Embed - The tool is displayed within the existing third party tool window,

  • New window - The tool opens in a new window, occupying all the available space. Depending on the browser, it will open in a new tab or a popup window. It is possible that browsers will prevent the new window from opening.
