Overview

This guide walks Blackboard administrators through the LTI 1.3 tool configuration to integrate Vantage with Moodle so instructors are able to create deep links and grade syncs between Vantage and their LMS course.

Some configuration information is provided first to you by Sage:

Your Sage Technical Implementation Specialist will provide these details using a privnote link (https://privnote.com/).
Please note that this link can be opened once. When you close the page, the contents of the privnote will be destroyed.
Once you open the privnote, we recommend storing a copy of this information for your records.

Setting up the External Configuration Tool

1. Log into your Moodle LMS as an Administrator. Next, go to Site Administration in the left navigation menu.

The site administration icon is a wrench.

2. On the Site Administration page, go to the Plugins tab.

The Plugins tab is in the middle of the tab options.

3. In the Activity Modules section, locate External tool. Select the Manage tools link immediately underneath it.

Manage Tools is beneath External Tool, near the bottom of the list.

4. Select the link to Configure a tool manually.

Instead of using the "Add" field to key in a tool URL, choose the link within the sentence "Alternatively, you can configure a tool manually."

Completing Configuration

After saving, open the tool's detail list by selecting the list icon.

Select the icon resembling a page of writing to open the list.

Send the tool's configuration details to Sage to complete the tool set-up using the Email button.

After you send the Tool Configuration Details to your Sage Technical Implementation Specialist, you will receive confirmation that the integration is complete on the Sage side. We recommend that you attempt to add a link to Vantage in a sandbox course to confirm the tool configuration is working.

a. Go to the module you wish to add content to. Select the link to Add an activity or resource.

Find the "Add an activity or resource" option beneath any Chapter in a module.

You may see Sage Vantage in your list of Activities. If not, select the External Tools link. Select the External Tools links. Choose the Add button.

If you had the Sage Vantage activity, choose the Select Content button. If you selected External Tools, choose Sage Vantage from the Preconfigured Tool dropdown and then click the Select Content button.

You should see the following error message that you do not have a valid Vantage account:

Message: Your learning management system email [[email protected]] does not match an existing account in Sage Vantage. Please contact [email protected] so that our support team can create or merge your accounts."

Seeing this error indicates you have authenticated into Vantage to the point where it is doing a user check. Since the user check is looking for an instructor account, this message indicates the configuration is correct.
