ScreenPal integrates with many learning management systems via the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard.  This article will help you with the setup and use of our LTI version 1.1 app within the Schoology LMS.  For more information about how to set up LTI version 1.3, see Set up ScreenPal with Canvas LMS using the LTI v1.3 app.

Please note that while we continue to support the use of LTI v1.1 with ScreenPal, we will no longer be developing ScreenPal feature updates for this version.

Use of our LTI app is compatible with all plans; Free, Deluxe, Premier, Max, and Team Plans.

Enable Team Plans with the Consumer Key and Shared Secret

You can use the LTI app to enable Canvas to access the ScreenPal Screenshot tool, Screen Recorder and Video Editor, as well as other tools provided by your plan (embedding a video channel, adding a screen recorder button for student assignments, etc.)  If you are a member of a Team Plan, in order for a team members to access the features of a Team Plan, the Team Admin for your ScreenPal account will need to configure the LTI App.  If you are using version 1.1 of the LTI app plugin, you will need a Key and Secret for this configuration.  Obtain these items by completing the following steps:

1. Log into ScreenPal as a Team Owner or Team Administrator and go to Settings.

2. Click Integrations from the menu on the left.

3. Click the Add Integration button at the top of the page. When you click this button, additional fields are displayed.

4. For Integration Name, enter a unique name for this integration. For example, enter ScreenPal LTI v1.1.

You can have multiple integrations of the same type, so the name for each one must be distinctive.

5. For Integration Type, select LTI v1.1 Plugin from the list.

The XML, Key, and Secret fields are displayed.

Note: These values are unique to your Team account and should not be shared with anyone outside of your team. 

6. Click the Copy button next to Key and Secret to copy the values. Save them in a safe place, as they will need to be pasted into your LTI app in a later step.

7. Click Save.

You can edit the integration at any time by clicking the Edit icon.

Add the LTI app as a Canvas Admin

1. Login to your Canvas instance as an admin. 

2. Click Admin, then Settings.  Finally, click the Apps tab to configure the ScreenPal app as an external app.

3. Next, click on View App Configurations.

4. Click on +App to add the ScreenPal LTI app and configuration screen will appear.

Enter the following:

• Change Configuration Type to By URL

FAQ

When launching the ScreenPal team application, why am I unable to use the Video Editor?

Check your Canvas app settings (or ask your Canvas Administrator to check and configure) to make sure you have the consumer key and secret added correctly.
