Overview

This guide walks D2L Brightspace administrators through the LTI 1.3 tool configuration to integrate Vantage with D2L 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 LTI 1.3 Advantage Tool and Deployment

Create and Enable the Sage Vantage Link

On the Create Link page, complete the following items:

e. Select Save and Close when finished. 

Completing Configuration

After you send the Registration 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.

In your sandbox course, click Content in the top navigation menu.

If necessary, select Add a module in the left menu to create a content area to work in.

Go to Add Existing Activities, then choose the Sage Vantage tool.

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.
