How to Add Storyboard That LTI 1.3 as an App to Canvas

1. Go to your Canvas Admin page.
2. Go to the Account / Course level for where you want to install Storyboard That LTI 1.3.
   1. This step depends on how your school internally organizes your courses in Canvas.
   Be sure that the teachers you want using Storyboard That are in the Canvas accounts or courses that you select.
3. Navigate to Developer Keys:

1. Click the "+ Developer Key" button and select LTI Key.

Enter the following information:

• Name: Storyboard That

1. Click Save and make sure the Key State is set to ON

1. Copy the ID under the Details column, just above the "Show Key" button.
2. Go to the Settings page. *Make sure step 1 is complete so you are installing the app at the correct Account/Course level.*
   1. Go to Apps
   You may need to click "View App Configurations" for the "+ App" button to appear.

2. Click Submit
3. If you previously installed Storyboard That LTI 1.1, go to App Configurations and delete the LTI 1.1 app so that your teachers and students will only use LTI 1.3 and avoid confusion.
4. To get your students creating, teachers should create a Storyboard That assignment from their course by choosing Storyboard That LTI 1.3 as an external tool!
   1. Once students begin the assignment, their Storyboard That accounts will be automatically created.

Important Note about Roles and Custom Roles in Canvas

1.  Storyboard That supports three roles:
   1. Admin
   2. Teacher
   3. Student
2. When a user launches Storyboard That from Canvas via LTI 1.3, we map Canvas roles into these three as follows:.
   1. Canvas Administrator / Account Admin → Admin
   2. Canvas Instructor → Teacher
   3. Learner → Student
   4. All other roles (TA, Designer, Content Developer, Observer, custom roles, etc.) → Student
3. 👉 For data privacy and security reasons, we default every non-Instructor, non-Admin role to Student. This ensures no unintended access to teacher-level data or administrative functions.
4. ➡️ If your district uses custom roles that should function as Teachers in Storyboard That, please contact us at support@storyboardthat.com so we can adjust the mapping for your account.
