Annoto Insights And management Dashboard Setup

Annoto’s dashboard was designed in order to shed a light upon students’ behavior within Annoto in-video collaboration widget, providing you with data regarding their engagement within the video content.

Enable LTI Consumer In Studio

You can enable the LTI xblock in studio through the advanced settings:

1. From the main page of a specific course, click ​Settings->Advanced Settings in the top menu.

2. Check for the Advanced Module List policy key, and add "lti_consumer" in the policy value list.

[

...

" lti_consumer",

...

]

Once the lti_consumer module was added to the Course, it should be added to the course unit, using the following steps:

1. On the Course Outline page, open the unit in which you want to add Annoto:

2. Under Add New Component, click ​Advanced​, and then select ​LTI Consumer​.

3. Click Edit and then change LTI Consumer settings as you prefer:

Configure variable substitutions for User ID and Course ID

By default Annoto uses $Canvas.course.id for course and $Canvas.user.id for user. In some cases it is required to use different values as unique identifiers for course and user.

The most common use case is if Kaltura KAF integration is used alongside Annoto LTI on the same Canvas LMS. For seamless experiance, Annoto LTI setup and Kaltura KAF setup should use the same subsitution variables for identifying courses and users.

Prerequisites

• Admin access to Canvas account

• LTI 1.3 deployment of Annoto (Not Legacy)

Step by Step guide

1. Determine the required Canvas substution parameters to be used as course ID and user ID (Canvas has support for various ids). To determine the values used by the Kaltura KAF, please refer to .

2. Find the in Canvas Admin -> Developer Keys and click on Edit button.

3. Scroll down and expand the Additional Settings dropdown to access the Custom Fields:
4. Replace existing or add new fields as required (the defaults might be missing if the deployment was done long time ago):

   1. nn_sub_course_id=$Canvas.course.id - in most cases no change is required for the defaults as it maps to the Canvas course ID as seen in the browser URL.

   2. nn_sub_user_id=$Canvas.user.id - , so to match Kaltura deployment this value can be changed to: nn_sub_user_id=$Canvas.user.loginId

5. Inform the Annoto team about this change. For valid setup, Annoto team would need to update substitution parameters in the Annoto Admin dashboard LTI integration to match the new value:

Using LTI 1.3 in Canvas, administrators have the option to hide the Annoto Dashboard link from course navigation by default. This means that the link will not appear for instructors unless they choose to enable it themselves.

• Admin access to Canvas account

• LTI 1.3 deployment of Annoto (Not Legacy)
