Set up your Populi integration

This guide provides all you need to know about configuring and testing your Populi LTI integration with Perlego.

About the Populi integration

The integration allows Populi admins and instructors to deep-link titles from Perlego to a module within a course.

When a student clicks on a Perlego link they are directed to create their account and once registered they will be automatically logged in, creating a seamless experience for your students.

Configure your Populi integration

Before you start the configuration make sure you have:

• Account Admin access to your Populi instance.
• A test course within Populi.
• Created an access link for new registrations to be sent to.

1. Install the Perlego LTI tool into Populi

1. From the Populi profile menu, navigate to the Account & Settings > Account Settings > Integrations

   
   

2. Click on Add Integration and select the following:

   1. Integration Type: External LTI Tool
   2. LTI Version: 1.3 (LTI Advantage)
   3. Dynamic Registration Tool registration URL: https://perlego.ltiaas.com/register
   4. Tick the “Launch tool in new tab” option

3. Click on the Register Tool button.

   

4. Perlego will now appear in the Integrations section.

   

2. Send Perlego your ClientID, LMS URL and default access link

Send us the Client ID you’ve generated and your Populi URL (Populi Platform ID) by completing our LMS set up form, so we can complete the registration. You can find this information by going to Account & Settings > Account Settings > Integrations and clicking on Configuration Details

You’ll also need to tell us which access link your LMS users should be directed to when signing up to Perlego. If you don’t have an access link yet, you’ll need to create one in Perlego. This requires a Perlego admin login.

We'll contact you when your integration is ready to test.
