Install Nubric in Canvas via LTI

Use this guide if you want to integrate Nubric with Canvas using LTI 1.3, so instructors can launch quizzes directly from Canvas courses. Following this guide, you will install Nubric as an LTI 1.3 tool in Canvas using Dynamic Registration and confirm that instructors can launch it from course assignments.

Before you begin

Requirements:

• Canvas administrator access for the target account.
• Familiarity with Canvas administration.
• Basic understanding of LTI 1.3 concepts.
• The Nubric Dynamic Registration URL: https://api.nubric.com/lti/registration

Steps

1. Open the Apps section in Canvas:

• Log in to Canvas as an administrator.
• Go to Admin.
• Select the account where you want to install Nubric.
• Open Apps.

2. Start the installation using Dynamic Registration:

• Click Install New App.
• Select LTI 1.3.
• Select Dynamic Registration.
• Paste the Nubric Dynamic Registration URL: https://api.nubric.com/lti/registration
• Review the tool details shown by Canvas.
• Click Next, then Install.

Canvas will confirm that the app has been installed.

3. Copy the generated Client ID:

• In Apps, locate the newly installed Nubric app.
• Open the app options (for example, the three-dot menu).

4. Add the app using the Client ID:

• Click Install New App again.
• Select By Client ID.

This step finalizes the LTI configuration.

5. Review the app configuration (optional):

6. Launch Nubric from a course:

Options and variations
