The Screencast-O-Matic LTI screen recorder integrates with many learning management systems. This article will help with the setup of the Screencast-O-Matic LTI app within the Blackboard LMS for administrators and teachers.
Use of the Screencast-O-Matic LTI app is compatible with all plans; Free, Deluxe, and Premier.
Login to your Blackboard instance as an administrator. Click on System Admin. Under Integrations, click on LTI Tool Providers.
First, click on Register Provider Domain.
Please fill out the following:
Click Submit.
Click on Create Placement.
Please fill out the following:
https://screencast-o-matic.com/lti/xml
Special Note: If you have a Team Deluxe or Team Premier plan, you can find the Tool Provider Key and Tool Provider secret using the instructions below. If you do not have these upgraded subscriptions, then just please put the following for Key and Secret
Click Submit.
You can use the LTI App for your team to access the Deluxe Plan tools (screen recorder and video editor) and the additional features provided in the Premier Plan (embedding a video channel, adding a screen recorder button for student assignments, etc.).
In order for a Team Plan user to access the features of a Deluxe or Premier Plan, the admin for the plan will need to configure the LTI App with a private consumer key and secret.
First, login with your Admin account, click your user icon and then Settings. On the left sidebar, click Integrations.
If you are a teacher, you can use the Screencast-O-Matic LTI app with Blackboard LMS but it will require some configuration from an admin first. The instructions below will work only if this configuration has occurred.
First, choose a course and go to "Content". Go to"Build Content" and click "Web Link".
A form appears. Put anything you like for Name, and then fill out the following:
https://screencast-o-matic.com/lti/xml
See below.
Click Submit.
If you get the below error message, you'll need to configure Screencast-O-Matic as a tool provider with your administrators help.
First, check to make sure your team account is upgraded to a Deluxe or Premier plan. Access to the video editor is only included within these plans.
If you have a Deluxe or Premier account, check your Blackboard app settings (or ask your Blackboard Administrator to check/configure) to make sure you have the consumer key and secret added in, as in the instructions above.
