Integrating external tools into the LMS shouldn't be complicated. With LTI Deep Linking, institutions can streamline how instructors bring rich, interactive content directly into their courses, whether they're using Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, or another compliant LMS.

In a recent walkthrough, we showcased how simple it is to set up LTI Deep Linking. Here's how it works step by step:

---

## Configure Developer Keys / Tool Settings

Within the LMS admin panel, you can create or edit a tool configuration. This involves adding a target link URI for the deep linking launch and setting the message type to LTI Deep Linking Request.

## Enable Deep Linking in a Course

Once saved, the tool can be added at the course level. Instructors simply select the deep linking launch from the external tools menu.

## Select and Insert Content

A content selection window appears, allowing instructors to choose the resource they want to add, for example, the Career Path Mentor. The LMS then returns the target link URI and suggested title, which can be inserted directly into the course.

## Launch Instantly

With a single click, the new tool is ready to launch, creating a smooth and integrated experience for both faculty and learners.

## Why It Matters

This process eliminates manual workarounds and ensures that instructors can deliver the right resources to the right students at the right time. By leveraging LTI Deep Linking, institutions can:

- Simplify tool setup and course design
- Improve the discoverability of integrated resources
- Save faculty time while creating a consistent learning experience across LMS platforms

At ibl.ai, we're focused on making integrations simple, scalable, and effective—so educators can spend more time teaching and less time troubleshooting.
