How to Create an External Tool node
- In the Project, users can manage the Course Outline in the Outline mode and Author mode
- In the Outline mode, click the “+” icon next to any node to bring up the Add Node modal.
- To bring up the Add Node modal in Author mode, click on the More ( ⋮ ) icon on any node and select + Add Node.
Note: Default node type selected is Content Screen. Depending on your last selection, the option is retained.
- If any other node type is selected, select the External Tool option.
Note: Users can either choose from the available list of LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 tools, pre-registered in the Admin platform or they can Insert External Tool if no tool is pre-registered.
- Select a pre-registered tool from the available list of LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 tools:
- LTI 1.1 tools configured with the basic launch (without search icon) can be added directly by selecting the tool
- LTI 1.1 tools configured with Content Item selection and LTI 1.3 tools will have a search icon next to them, clicking this will open the corresponding provider UI to select resources
Note: Name, URL & Custom properties are available for the user to add/edit manually.
- Alternatively, to add a tool, click Insert External Tool and input the required details:
- Name of the External Tool
- URL
- Custom Properties
- Additionally, on the Metadata tab users can add the KVP, Tags, and Taxonomy.
- Click Add.
- Alternatively, you can also reuse an existing external tool node from the LOR.
Note: On navigating to Author or Preview mode from the top navigation, users will need to select a node to view its content.
All types of nodes can be created inside a folder, including a folder. Users cannot create or reorder a hierarchy under content pages or any other node type.
Users can continue performing actions or work on other nodes of the Course Outline while one node action(add, delete, reuse, edit) is in process.
