(Teachers) How to re-embed your padlets after your school's LTI 1.3 upgrade
由 Julia Carnes 于 上个月 更新Your school has upgraded (or is upgrading) to LTI 1.3. Your embedded padlets still work, but you'll need to re-add them to use the new connection. Here's why and how.
What changed
Padlet is retiring the older version of LTI (the system your LMS uses to connect to Padlet), and your school has upgraded to LTI 1.3.
Old embeds still load, and students can still open them. What doesn't carry over is the LTI connection itself, which handles automatic sign-in and identifies who's contributing.
What this means for your padlets
Your padlets are safe. Nothing has been deleted.
Old embeds still load. Students can open them as before.
Students will need to sign in to Padlet manually when they open an old embedded padlet. Automatic sign-in no longer works on those.
To restore automatic sign-in, remove the old embed and add a new one using your LMS's updated Padlet tool. Students will then be signed in automatically again.
You don't have to re-add everything at once. Old embedded padlets keep working with manual login, so re-add as you go or knock them out in one sitting.
How to re-embed your padlets in your courses
Steps depend on your LMS, but the flow is the same:
- Open the course or module where the old padlet is placed.
- Remove the existing embed (the link, embed, or external tool item).
- Add a new external tool item using your LMS's updated Padlet tool.
- Select the same padlet from the picker.
- Save.
