Cidi Labs will coordinate with you to perform the installation.
We will walk your organization through the installation process. During the install call, which will be completed through Zoom, ObservEd will be installed at the Canvas root or sub-account. The call will take no more than an hour.
Steps for Installation
The steps to install ObservEd include the following:
- Creating the ObservEd Task Runner User
- The Task Runner user is a service user that is not tied to an active user. Cidi Labs will provide an email to create the user, but you are welcome to use an institutional email for this service user. The Task Runner is given limited account permissions to obtain data necessary for ObservEd.
- Creating the ObservEd Account Role
- Adding the ObservEd User as an Account Admin
- Enabling the ObservEd Inherited Developer Key
- Creating the Cidi Labs ObservEd LTI key
- Creating a New Course to house the ObservEd LTI
- Adding the LTI to the Course
- Adding Users to the Course
- Connecting the ObservEd Task Runner User
- Opening the LTI tool
- Testing the Installation
The ObservEd LTI is enabled at the course level in the root or sub-account.
Who needs to join the installation?
A Canvas root account admin who has access to the developer keys and can masquerade as other users must be present at the call to install the tool.
