Canvas - Transition Qwickly Course Tools to LTI 1.3

The following guide will assist administrators in transitioning Qwickly Course Tools from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3 for Canvas.

NOTE: For Canvas, both LTI 1.1 and 1.3 installations can be used concurrently on your systems. 

If you have Qwickly Course Tools installed in a test server of your Canvas environment, we suggest you upgrade that server first to LTI 1.3 to test the process, then move to production. It is recommended that this is completed during a period of low usage and not during an active semester in order to avoid confusion for users in production environments.

This transition to LTI 1.3 will not affect current or existing courses. Data migration is not needed and any existing product settings will remain the same.

Go to Admin > Your Instance Account > Developer Keys > Add (+) Developer Key > LTI Key

Fill in the values: 

• Key name: Course Tools LTI 1.3
