    GoReact is both LTI 1.1 & LTI 1.3 compliant for D2L/Brightspace. This guide will overview how to integrate GoReact in D2L/Brightspace via LTI 1.3.

    Please Note

    Setting up LTI 1.3 for your organization should be intentional, and should not be taken lightly since there could be issues in switching back and forth. Please be sure if you're following these steps that you are a D2L/Brightspace administrator with permission for your organization to make these changes.

    Before starting your installation of LTI 1.3, if you are an existing GoReact customer, please confirm that you are in compliance with our LTI 1.1 setup instructions including but not limited to

    • Making sure GoReact is installed at the organization.
    • Using the proper launch URL: https://lti.goreact.com/lti/v1 (or, .eu for our friends in the EU).
    • Using the proper unique key/secret.

    If you're unsure if you're in compliance there, please reach out to our support team for assistance here: GoReact Support

    For our friends located in the EU

    Please make sure if you are located in the EU that you use .eu as your extension, and not .com.
    Thank you!!

    Please Note

    Only 1 app installation should be installed per organization, and you should not delete your GoReact installations unless otherwise directed by the GoReact support team.

    To create/access any course/assignment created in D2L/Brightspace, please log in through D2L/Brightspace. You will never need to go to goreact.com to access a D2L/Brightspace course/assignment.

    Installing GoReact LTI 1.3 to D2L/Brightspace

    Note, your view in D2L/Brightspace may be slightly different, but the same steps should apply. Be advised, if you're unable to install external tools, then you likely do not have the proper admin role/permissions in D2L/Brightspace. Please seek out your D2L/Brightspace administrator to get those adjusted, or have them follow this guide for you.

    Please note

    You will need to follow the below steps to "Register Tool", set up a "New Deployment", and set up a "New Link". Each section below will walk you through this 3 part instruction.

    1. From your main page, click the settings "gear" icon on the top left, and then "Manage Extensibility".
    2. Click the "LTI Advantage" tab at the top, and then "Register Tool".

    4. Click "Save and Close" and you're done! You can now start Creating GoReact assignments in Brightspace or Creating GoReact assignments in Brightspace (new content experience).

    Please Note

    If you are an existing LTI 1.1 customer, you will need to migrate existing courses to LTI 1.3. To do this, click into the desired course, then "Course Tools" < "Course Admin" < "External Learning Tools" < "Manage Tool Links (Legacy)", and then click "Migrate".

    Be advised

    Now your LTI 1.1 assignments will now launch LTI 1.3 payloads. If you experiencing issues, please contact GoReact Support

    You will likely see an error message when you first create a GoReact LTI 1.3 assignment. This is intentional!
    LTI 1.3 is built with security and verification in mind, so when you first launch GoReact you may see an error page asking you to reach out to our support team to verify your account. Please complete this step, and then you will start to see GoReact like normal.
    Thank you!
