Connect BigBlueButton using LTI

A LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) - is an educational technology that allows learning management systems (LMS) to host third-parties’ content and tools without requiring end-users to log in separately on external systems.

MynaParrot as a BigBlueButton premium hosting provider support incoming LTI launch requests from a tool consumer, which is the IMS term for any platform that can make an LTI request to an external tool (such as BigBlueButton). Such platforms include Desire2Learn, BlackBoard, Pearson Learning Studio, Canvas etc. This means is that with no custom code, any LTI compliant platform can add BigBlueButton virtual classrooms to its system.

MynaParrot API is LTI 1.0 compliant. This means that MynaParrot API can receive a single sign-on request that includes roles and additional custom parameters. To configure an external tool in the LTI consumer, you need to provide three pieces of information:

URL	Consumer Key	Secret
https://api.mynaparrot.com/lti/tool	Your Client ID	Your API Key/Secret/Salt

 

You can find above information from My Panel page. After you've configured your tool, you'll see something like this:
