Virtual tours for student-centered learning

ThingLink helps students become fluent in using multiple forms of media to explore and express themselves inside and outside the classroom. Summarize and showcase projects in an interactive presentation including text, photos, audio, slideshows, or Flipgrid and YouTube videos! New: All text in ThingLink hotspots is now accessible in an integrated reading tool. This supports learning in groups with various reading skills and language backgrounds. Get ThingLink for your school or campus by contacting education@thinglink.com.

The LTI integration allows students and teachers to sign up and login into their ThingLink account directly from LMS with one simple click.

Installation Instructions

Please note that LTI integration is available only on the School & District plan.

As an admin of your School on ThingLink, go to the ‘My School’ page, then select the LTI tab. The tab will contain OAuth Consumer key, OAuth Secret, OAuth Launch URL as well as the configuration URL.

Set up an app in your Canvas based on this tutorial. Make sure to mark ThingLink as ‘opens in new window/tab’.

After these steps are complete, you can begin testing the integration.

Up-to-date instructions are always available in our support center.
