Step 2: Deploy LTI 1.3 Integration
When configuring a new Turnitin integration within your LMS, you must run our deployment workflow before your institution can start using the integration.
The deployment workflow requires the Turnitin account administrator at your institution to link the integration to a specific Turnitin sub-account. This workflow will launch automatically when attempting to use the integration for the first time, which is why we recommend creating a “dummy” assignment to complete your configuration.
-
Navigate to a course and click Add. Choose the Turnitin LTI 1.3 tool from the options in the dropdown.
- You will be prompted to log in to your Turnitin administrator account.
-
Once you have logged in to Turnitin’s deployment workflow, you will either be provided with a list of existing configurations, or the option to create a new one.
If you are migrating from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3, we recommend that you link to the same configuration that you used for the LTI 1.1 integration.
- To link to an existing configuration - locate the name of the configuration in the list provided and select the link button. If there is a lock icon in place of the link button, that configuration cannot be used for this deployment.
-
To create a new deployment - Select the Create New or Create Deployment button dependent on which you have available.
- Select the Turnitin account the configuration should be registered to and select Next.
- Enter a descriptive name for the deployment as it may be listed for future configurations in your LMS. Select Next.
- Confirm the deployment to complete your configuration. If successful, you will be prompted to log out of the deployment workflow and return to your LMS.
-
Once you've linked your account and finished creating your assignment, the dummy assignment can be deleted. Your registration has been initialized.
