How to set up remote LTI 1.3

Host TinQwise learning platform content in an external LMS using LTI 1.3.

Written by Marie Xhauflair

With remote LTI 1.3, your content stays in the TinQwise learning platform but can be accessed directly from another LMS that supports LTI 1.3. This means learners can launch your courses from their own system without needing a separate login.

🔧 What you need before you start

LTI feature enabled in your TinQwise platform.

👉 If this option isn’t visible, contact TinQwise Support to enable it.

  • An external LMS that supports LTI 1.3 (resource linking flow).

  • Decision on which groups in your platform will have access.

📋 Steps to set up remote LTI 1.3

  1. Navigate to Control > Content > Integrations

  2. Go to the tab "LTI 1.3 platforms" > "Create LTI 1.3 platform"

    • Copy the details under "LTI connection" to the external LMS (Login URL, redirection URL, and Keyset URL)

  3. Set up the LTI connection on the external LMS with the LTI connection information:

    • Login URL (Initiate Login URL)

    • Redirection URL

    • Connect with: choose Keyset URL or Public key

    • You should then receive the information required to setup the LTI 1.3 platform on the TinQwise platform.

  4. On TinQwise control, under the tab LTI 1.3 platforms, click on "Create LTI platform".

    • Fill in the details from your external LMS (received from previous step):

      • Platform name

      • Client ID

      • Deployment ID

      • Platform keyset URL

      • Issuer

      • Authentication request URL

      • Access token URL

    • Ensure the checkbox "Enable" is checked

    • Click Save

  5. Go to the tab "LTI 1.3 content" > "Create LTI 1.3 content"

    1. Select the LTI Platform connection

    3. If you want the user to launch into a programme select it here, if you want the user to launch into the stream leave the programme field empty

    4. Select "separate users" when you want two stream-level lti's to track completion independently.

    5. A group linked to this specific LTI will be created. Use this group to set up the stream automations to make sure users launched into the stream will see the correct content

  6. The LTI connection with specific custom parameters will appear (you may need to refresh the page).

  7. Copy the custom parameters and set up the LTI the external platform to launch the user into the specific programme or stream

👀 Good to know

  • TinQwise supports resource linking flow only for LTI 1.3 — deep linking is not available.

  • How the external LMS displays and uses the returned data depends on its configuration.

  • Make sure the automations on the platform are set up correctly. A user coming into the platform through LTI will have access to everything a user in the linked LTI group has access to

📌 What to check after setup

  • The activity launches correctly from the external LMS into TinQwise.

  • Completion is sent back as expected.
