There are a few different ways to embed a padlet in an LMS. This article will describe how to connect Padlet to Brightspace using LTI 1.3.
Set up LMS integration for Brightspace (Admins)
You will need:
- Administrator access on Brightspace
- Access to the owner account on Backpack
- Retrieve Dynamic Registration Link
Using the owner account on Padlet Backpack, access the settings page by clicking on your avatar icon > Settings > Organization Info > scroll down to find the LTI Advantage Dynamic Registration Link field and select Create > Copy to Clipboard.
- Register LTI Tool
On Brightspace, from the Admin dashboard, open Admin Tools (settings cog) > Manage Extensibility > LTI Advantage > Register Tool > Select Dynamic Registration
Paste the link we've given you and select Configure Deployment.
Once done, click on Register. Then fill in the details as shown below:
Tool | Padlet (use a name that will help you easily identify it later) |
Name | Padlet (use a name that will help you easily identify it later) |
Extensions |
|
Security Settings |
|
Send Institution Role | Check this box |
Ensure that under "Add Org Units", the institution has been added so that everyone within the organisation has access to Padlet LTI 1.3.
- Create Link for Deeplinking
From the same Deployment page for Padlet, click View Links. Then, click on Padlet and click New Link and fill in the fields.
Name | Padlet (use a name that will help you easily identify it later) |
URL | |
Type | Deep Linking Insert Stuff or Deep Linking Quicklink (see difference below in step 4) |
Then click Save and Close.
Padlet is now available to be added in all of the courses that the deployment was shared with above. Navigate to a course, choose an existing module or create a new one.
Set up LMS integration for Brightspace (Teachers)
- Create a Module/Sub-Module
If you selected Deep Linking Insert Stuff:
Content > Select a Module or Add a Module > Upload/Create > New Assignment (for example) > Insert Stuff. Select the Padlet LTI 1.3 tool.
If you selected Deep Linking Quicklink:
Content > Select a Module or Add a Module > Existing Activities. Select the Padlet LTI 1.3 tool.
- Select the Padlet Board
A pop up will appear showing existing padlets within your Backpack account. You get to select which padlet you want to add to the module.
The Padlet should show up like this on Brightspace!
Additional sharing options
If you want students to work on their own copy of the Padlet, toggle the 'Create a copy for each user' option. Students will get their own copy when they click on the link in the assignment and you will be automatically added as a shared member to the padlet.
