  3. Once the page loads, click the Add Integration button to open the Add Integration Modal

  • LTI version: 1.3
  • Target URL: https://{your-institution}.inspera.com/ltiprovider/launch. Please, confirm the value with your Inspera representative

Note

inspera_test_start_time and inspera_test_end_time should not be configured as custom parameters, but should instead be set up as custom assignment parameters later on

Appearance

Complete the fields as follows and then click the Next button:

  • Name: Inspera
  • Icon URL:  https://www.inspera.com/wp-content/themes/inspera/images/logo.svg
  • Disable the Enable deep linking toggle (off)
  • Enable the Can retrieve participants of the space toggle (on)
  • Disable integration: We recommend disabling the integration (toggle on) until the configuration has been completed in Inspera. Once this is done, you can make the integration available (toggle off)

Inspera's Availability in Aula

  1. Select the Assignments option. This will make it available as a new assignment option within Aula
  2. Click Save

Custom Assignment Parameters

Inspera maintains documentation on the custom parameters that they support. Here is the link to the documentation.

At the time of writing, there are two parameters that are appropriate to configure as custom assignment parameters:

Name Value
inspera_test_start_time assignment.startDate
inspera_test_end_time

assignment.endDate

lti_test_template Template ARID (optional). If you want to apply an Inspera template to all LTI assignments you can do so by setting the Template ARID as a custom assignment parameter.

 

Missing Student in Inspera Assignment Linked to an Aula Space

When a student recently added to an Aula space doesn't appear in an Inspera assignment linked to that space, launch the Inspera assignment from Aula.

Educators should always access Inspera from through Aula for the list of students to be updated.

If the student is still not listed, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Aula Support team at support@aula.ac.uk for us to investigate further.
