How to enable Single Sign On (SSO) with SCORM or BasicLTI

When you want to integrate your existing Learning Management System (LMS) with TrainTool to enable single sign on (SSO) we offer support for the following integrations:

• Basic LTI (preferred)
• SCORM
• SURFConext (Dutch education)
• Custom API connections 

Note: 

• Please ensure that TrainTool is opened in a new window, otherwise TrainTool cannot get access to camera / microphone in Google Chrome.
• SCORM integration only works with the HTTPS protocol and not with HTTP.
• TrainTool is not designed to be an LMS replacement, therefore there's no way to integrate other learning software into TrainTool.

How it works for users

1. Users launch their TrainTool learning activity from your LMS.

2. The user is automatically signed on to the web version of TrainTool.

3a. If the user already exists in TrainTool, they are immediately referred to the corresponding program and can simply continue.

3b. If the user does not yet exist in TrainTool, a new user is automatically created* and enrolled into the program. They receive the suggestion to use the mobile app (as this is generally preferred by our users).

How to enable single sign on with BasicLTI

1.You need an accountname, consumer key and a shared secret.

When logged in, account admins can find the necessary keys themselves. These are listed under 'API keys' on the 'Account' tab. TrainTool must first create the keys for an account, if this has not already been done you can contact our support department. The accountname can be found in the adressbar in the browser, the part before ".traintool.com". 

2. Add an "LTI Tool Provider" in your LMS with the following information:

Property	Value
Tool base URL	https://[accountname].traintool.com/api/lti
Consumer key	16 character key you received in step 1
Shared secret	received in step 1
Launch container	New window
Launch_presentation_return_url	the URL to send users after they exit TrainTool
program_id*	ID of program
path_id* (optional)	ID of path
start_date*	YYYY-MM-DD

* If custom_ is not automatically prefixed to program_id, manually change the property name to custom_program_id. The same goes for start_date.

3. Create a new "LTI Activity"
Create activities at each points in your course where you want to link an activity to TrainTool or a specific TrainTool program/course. Use the same properties as above, but additionally add the property program_id and use the program ID that you find in the program overview in the TrainTool admin:

Note: to implement callbacks for reporting of Score and Progress, get in contact with Traintool to discuss how to implement this.

How to enable single sign on with SCORM

1. Request a SCORM package for each of your programs

2. Create a new activity in your LMS and upload the SCORM package. Make sure the package opens in a new window.
