Blackboard steps to setup LTI 1.3
The first step to getting an LTI connection set up with Blackboard is to navigate to https://developer.blackboard.com/ to register a new application. If you do not have an account, you will have to set one up.
Once logged in, you are challenged to start the registration process. Click Register a REST or LTI application to begin.
You’ll need to Include your application name, description, and domain (your Content Controller url)...don’t forget to check off “My Integration Supports LTI 1.3”.
Once you check that you have an LTI 1.3 application, it opens up the rest of the page so that you can include the information from the LTI setup page in Content Controller.
...in the Blackboard application.
