Deploy an external learning tool for LTI Advantage

Deployments allow sharing of registered tools in Brightspace to specific org units or descendants of parent org units.

From the Admin Tools menu, click External Learning Tools and click New Deployment

We’re now deploying the tool that was created in the first section.
Enable the deployment and select the LearnVia Tool that we just created from the Tool dropdown. Name the tool and provide an optional description.

For this deployment, select Assignment and Grade Services and Names and Role Provisioning Services.

For the security settings, select all information sharing options except “Anonymous”.

We will want this deployment to open in a new browser tab when launched by the learner or instructor. Select Open as External Resource.
Substitution parameters should be inherited from the earlier tool configuration. Leave as-is.

Add Org Units: Select which parts of your institutional hierarchy will have access to the tool: select specific courses, departments, or the entire institution to share the tool with… When finished, click Create Deployment and copy the Deployment Id when presented. Click Done.
