Overview

Note: If you are transitioning from Norton 1.1, we recommend following the below steps between semesters.

Please follow the instructions to add two Norton LTI 1.3 tools to your LMS. Our LTI tools are registered “globally” with Blackboard, so all you need is the Client IDs, which are listed below.

  1. Part 1 provides instructions for adding the Norton Learning Tools, which allows for our legacy links to work. This ensures a seamless transition for instructors who have 1.1 links in their course, or plan to upload new files containing those links.
  2. Part 2 provides instructions for adding the Norton Deep Linking tool, which has deep linking enabled. Deep linking will make your instructors’ course set up much easier going forward. As we build out additional services into our newer app, we will eventually deprecate the older one.

If you are transitioning from Norton LTI 1.1, please only migrate the tool in a break between terms when no active courses are in session using the LTI 1.1 links.

    • The migration isn’t final until you click the “Submit” button on the next screen.
  4. Blackboard will display the name and description of the W. W. Norton Learning Tools, along with some configuration details.
