How do I create LTI content?

What is an LTI integration?

LTI stands for Learning Tools Interoperability. This technology allows you to securely connect external learning content—such as online trainings or microlearnings—to the Studytube platform. Through an encrypted connection and a unique key, the integration links Studytube with the external content provider’s platform.

With an LTI integration, you can embed external content directly into the Studytube academy. Learners are automatically redirected to the correct training or video hosted by the external provider.

Important: Always check in advance whether the external provider supports LTI, and which versions they offer. Studytube supports LTI versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.3.

If you want to add a large number of items at once, please contact your Studytube contact person to discuss the options.

Adding LTI content in 3 steps

1. Create an LTI provider 

2. Add LTI content to the library

3. Test your LTI content

Step 1: Creating an LTI Provider

Go to Settings > Library & Content > LTI Providers in the LMS and click "Configure new LTI provider" in the top right corner. Then:

• Select the LTI version (1.0/1.1 or 1.3)

• Enter a clear provider name (this will appear when you add content later)

For LTI 1.0 or 1.1

Enter the following information, which you’ll receive from the external provider:

• Provider Key

• Provider Secret

• Provider URL

Next, configure the minimum score required for a training or microlearning to be marked as “completed” in Studytube. You can choose between:

• Use minimum score from the LTI training: set a score per individual item

• Use minimum score from the LTI provider: apply a default score for all items from this provider

Click "Create" to save the provider.

For LTI 1.3

Enter the following fields, provided by the external content provider:

• OIDC Initiation URL

• OIDC Redirect URL

• JWKS URL

• Provider URL

Set the minimum score settings as described above. Then click "Create".

To complete the integration:

1. Click the three dots next to the newly created provider

2. Select "Detailed Output Fields"

3. Copy and share the following details with the external provider:

   • Client ID

   • Deployment ID

   • OIDC Issuer

   • Authentication URL

   • Keyset URL

Once the external provider has processed these details, the integration is active and you can start adding content.

Do the terms used by the LTI provider differ from the ones listed above? If so, please contact us for support at service@studytube.nl.

Step 2: Adding content via LTI

Adding online courses

1. Go to LMS > Library > Online Courses

2. Click "Create an online course" in the top right corner

3. Choose LTI as the training format

4. Select the LTI provider you just created

5. Fill in the following fields:

   • External LTI Link (Launch URL, provided by the external partner)

   • Minimum score required for completion

   • Name of the training

6. Click "Create"

The online course is now added. You can continue configuring the rest of the training settings within Studytube.

Optional: Some providers may ask for additional parameters. Only fill in the Custom Parameter Name and Value fields if these have been specified. If you’re unsure, contact the LTI provider or Studytube at service@studytube.nl

Adding microlearnings (videos, documents or articles)

The steps are nearly identical for all types of microlearnings. Here's an example for a video:

1. Go to LMS > Library > Videos

2. Click "Upload a video"

3. Choose: "Add a video from an external LTI provider"

4. Select the appropriate LTI provider

5. Fill in:

   • External LTI Link (Launch URL, provided by the external partner)

   • Minimum score required for completion

   • Title of the video

6. Click "Next" to configure the rest of the video settings

The video is now successfully added via LTI.

Step 3: Testing the added content

Once your courses or microlearnings are added, we strongly recommend performing a technical test before assigning them to a wider audience.

Start with a small pilot group. Set up a brief technical test using a small group of approximately five employees. This is not meant to review the content itself, but to ensure the integration works properly.

What the pilot group should test:

• Do I have access to the training?

• Can I complete the training?

• Once I complete it, does it show as ‘completed’ in the academy (LXP)?

What you should verify in the LMS:

1. Do you see that these employees have started the training?

2. After completion, is the training marked as ‘completed’ in Studytube under the correct training?

3. If everything checks out, you can make the training visible or assign it to a larger group of employees.

By adding this test step, you minimize the risk of technical issues and ensure a smooth rollout. Is your training or microlearning not passing the test successfully? For further support, please contact the LTI provider or reach out to Studytube via service@studytube.nl.
