Brightspace Integration Guide

The following guide describes how to configure the Brightspace integration.

Create an LTI Key and Secret in MEDIAL

Log into MEDIAL as an administrator and navigate to the back end/upload site. From the main menu, click on the Security menu icon.

Expand the Learning Tools Interoperability accordion. Create a key and secret for use in Brightspace and note them down for later. Select the access level and then click Save.

For more information on access levels and how they work in LTI, please see the Learning Tool Authentication Types section in the Security topic.

If there is more than one Brightspace system that requires LTI integration with MEDIAL, another key and secret needs to be created to avoid errors occurring. Please contact support@medial.com to request another key and secret to be set up.
