Custom Parameters for LTI 1.3

Custom Parameters for LTI 1.3

As you transition from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3, the process to add and manage custom parameters has changed. With LTI 1.1, Concourse administrators could select the desired user, course, and navigation settings within the LTI consumer area. With LTI 1.3, you have the option of adding this information in the custom parameters field(s) within your LMS and/or adding these components to your associated LTI 1.3 adapter within Apidapter.  

Please Note: Whether you decide to add these custom parameters to your LMS or create these components in Apidapter, your Concourse implementation specialist will be able to provide you with top-notch support. 

Custom LTI parameters are optional parameters you can leverage to affect an end user's experience in a given tool. For example, within Concourse, you might decide to automatically create user accounts for students who launch the LTI link within their course but don't yet have a user account in Concourse. For LTI 1.1, these settings were managed within Concourse in Admin>Settings>LTI Consumers. With LTI 1.3, these settings are managed outside of Concourse, either within the LMS or within your LTI 1.3 adapter in Apidapter.
