After installing this integration, instructors at your organization will be able to add the Lingco LTI App to their course navigation. Then, their students will be able to skip the normal registration and login process by simply clicking a link in their Canvas course. They will be automatically logged in through a linked account. If they do not already have a Lingco account, one will be created for them using their student information from Canvas.

Step 1: Create a Developer Key

  1. Go to Admin > Developer Keys.

  2. Click + Developer Key and choose LTI Key.

  3. In the configuration window:

This configuration can be tweaked and updated directly from this help document.

When finished, click Save.

After returning to the Developer Keys page, toggle the State switch to Enabled under the State column.

Note the key in the Details column, this will be used later.

Step 2: Add the App in Canvas

  1. Go to Admin > Settings > Apps.

  2. Check to see if the Lingo Classroom LTI 1.3 app exists. If so, skip steps 3-5

  3. Click + App.

  4. Choose:

    • Configuration Type: By Client ID

    • Client ID: Fill out the Client ID with the ID noted in the "Details" column of the Developer Key.

  5. Click Submit.

  6. Open the app settings menu and click Deployment Id

Step 3: Share Configuration Details with Lingco

Once you’ve completed the setup, please send the following information to [email protected] so we can enable LTI 1.3 for your institution on our side:

  • Client ID (from the Developer Key you just created)

  • Deployment ID (from the installed application under Admin > Settings > Apps)

These are required in order for Lingco to recognize your LMS instance and complete the integration.

Step 4: Test the Integration

After receiving confirmation from Lingco that we're ready for you to test, you can verify the integration is working as expected.

  1. Open a course

  2. Navigate to the Course Navigation menu

  3. You should see Lingco LTI 1.3 as an available link

  4. Clicking it will launch the tool using the LTI 1.3 flow

If you have questions or need help configuring your instance, email us at [email protected].
