Admin – one time process
General
This is a one-time step in which you create a new “External Learning Tool” in Desire2Learn.
The “External Learning Tool” holds the details of your Leganto account.
Three parameters were generated after you created the LTI Integration Profile in Alma.
You will be asked to supply these parameters when creating the “External Learning Tool”.
Add an External Learning Tool
Click on the management wheel icon at the upper right corner => External Learning Tools
Create a New Link

We recommend using a name such as “Leganto Reading List” or just “Reading List”
(or another meaningful name).

Click ‘Add Org Units’.
Choose the highest level org unit and check its box. Also choose ‘All descendants’. Click ‘Insert’.
Click “Save and Close”.
Course Code Field Name
The course code is passed using the context_label parameter. You will need to add this as a field in Alma’s “Integration Profile”.
Place the value context_label in the ‘Course Code Field Name’ field.
