MackinVIA can be integrated with Infinite Campus – Campus Learning, providing users with greater accessibility to your digital collection. This connection allows librarians and teachers to access their Backpack accounts within the learning management system (LMS) and add MackinVIA resources or groups to assignments.
Access LTI Data
To set up the Campus Learning integration, you will need the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) data from your MackinVIA account.
Log into your MackinVIA Administrator account (https://www.mackinvia.com/Admin) with your Mackin.com email address and password.
Go to Settings > Integrations.
Select the Learning Tools Interoperability tab and copy the LTI Consumer Key and LTI Shared Secret using the buttons below the information.
This data is now ready to be pasted into Campus Learning.
Add and Configure MackinVIA App for Each School
Select MackinVIA or click Add Application to select MackinVIA from the list of Campus-supported partners. Expand the LTI Connections section and click Add LTI Connection.
- The Name is specific to the connection. Each school needs its own configuration; we suggest naming each configuration with the school name to differentiate the connections.
- To add additional connections, click Add LTI Connection from the application page.
