Migrate Brightspace Integration from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3 Advantage

Register and deploy the new Cengage tool to start using LTI 1.3 Advantage, then enable migration so that copies of old courses will use the upgraded integration.

Register the Cengage Tool

To enable instructors to integrate their Brightspace® and Cengage courses, register the Cengage tool.

Sign in to Brightspace as an administrator.
Go to Admin Tools > Manage Extensibility > LTI Advantage.
Click Register Tool.
Select Dynamic.
Under Tool initiation registration endpoint, paste the registration URL provided in the email from Cengage.
Select Configure Deployment and click Register.

A confirmation page opens in a new window.
Click Register to confirm the registration of Cengage LTI Advantage, and click Close to close the window.

The Cengage tool has been created, but it is disabled by default.
From the list of LTI Advantage tools, select Cengage.
Click Enable.

Make the Cengage Tool Deployment Available to Org Units

Institutions should use only one deployment of the Cengage tool and share it as necessary to the respective organizational units. If separate deployments are necessary, contact your account representative or Cengage support to request unique configuration parameters for each deployment.

Sign in to Brightspace as an administrator.
Go to Admin Tools > Manage Extensibility > LTI Advantage.
From the list of LTI Advantage tools, select Cengage.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click View Deployments.
From the list of Deployments, click the Cengage deployment.
Scroll down to the Org Units settings to confirm or edit the Org Units that require access to the Cengage tool.
Click Save and Close.

Enable Migration

Enable migration to update links when an old course is copied.

On the External Learning Tools page, click your new deployment.
Turn on Auto Migrate Links.
Click Save and Close.

When old courses are copied, activity links are updated to use LTI 1.3 Advantage.

Note

After copying a course, click an activity link in the new course to update the gradebook.

After all courses are migrated, disable the old Cengage tool to prevent instructors from creating courses using the old integration.
