💡 Want to add Akindi to the Course Nav Bar?

Follow these steps to enable Akindi as a link in the course nav bar.

Next Steps

  • Once your Akindi account manager receives the deployment ID, they will complete the integration setup.

  • You can then test the integration to ensure it if functioning as expected.

  • The integration can be deployed to all instructors.

💡 Switching to LTI 1.3 from LTI 1.1?

After the LTI 1.3 integration is setup and fully functioning, the LTI 1.1 integration can be disabled and deleted and the LTI 1.3 integration can be deployed to all instructors.

We recommend completing this transition between semesters to prevent any instructor disruptions.
