cue-1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.478
Hi, I'm Eadin from the Open Learning Initiative.

cue-2
00:00:02.478 --> 00:00:04.892
In this video, I'm going to show you

cue-3
00:00:04.892 --> 00:00:07.176
how to add and configure OLI Torus

cue-4
00:00:07.176 --> 00:00:09.459
in your Canvas course step-by-step.

cue-5
00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:10.412
Let's get started.

cue-6
00:00:10.412 --> 00:00:11.966
The first thing you need to do

cue-7
00:00:11.966 --> 00:00:14.293
when integrating Torus to Canvas

cue-8
00:00:14.293 --> 00:00:16.409
is to ensure that OLI Torus is

cue-9
00:00:16.409 --> 00:00:19.160
registered as an LTI Advantage Tool in

cue-10
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.190
your institution's Canvas system.

cue-11
00:00:21.190 --> 00:00:23.400
This is typically handled by a Canvas

cue-12
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.593
administrator. If your Canvas admin hasn't


cue-13
00:00:26.593 --> 00:00:31.630
integrated OLI Torus yet, contact OLI support

cue-14
00:00:31.630 --> 00:00:33.820
at oli-help@cmu.edu.

cue-15
00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:37.926
Okay. Now, to place the OLI Torus link to Canvas,

cue-16
00:00:37.926 --> 00:00:39.378
you have three options,

cue-17
00:00:39.378 --> 00:00:43.270
the navigation menu, an assignment, or a module.

cue-18
00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:45.970
Adding OLI Torus to the navigation

cue-19
00:00:45.970 --> 00:00:47.865
menu is recommended if you and students

cue-20
00:00:47.865 --> 00:00:49.323
need to enter it frequently.

cue-21
00:00:49.323 --> 00:00:53.386
This will result in OLI Torus also being visible

cue-22
00:00:53.386 --> 00:00:55.874
on the Canvas class homepage.

cue-23
00:00:55.874 --> 00:00:57.550
Adding OLI as an assignment

cue-24
00:00:57.550 --> 00:00:59.345
is the recommended placement.

cue-25
00:00:59.345 --> 00:01:01.200
This allows you to place OLI in

cue-26
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.579
your weekly curriculum and assign the

cue-27
00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:06.730
reading as homework or out-of-class activities.

cue-28
00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:08.531
Adding OLI Torus as a module

cue-29
00:01:08.531 --> 00:01:11.039
will allow students to navigate to OLI

cue-30
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.100
through the module view.

cue-31
00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:15.440
To avoid confusion, add your Torus course

cue-32
00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.000
link in only one place, navigation menu,

cue-33
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.215
assignments, or modules.

cue-34
00:01:20.215 --> 00:01:24.557
Option one, add the link to the navigation menu.

cue-35
00:01:24.557 --> 00:01:26.684
Go to Settings at the bottom of the

cue-36
00:01:26.684 --> 00:01:28.102
Canvas navigation menu.

cue-37
00:01:28.102 --> 00:01:30.000
Click the Navigation tab on the top

cue-38
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:34.657
and scroll to find OLI Torus, not the other ones

cue-39
00:01:34.657 --> 00:01:36.940
under Disabled Items. Drag it

cue-40
00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:39.490
up to the list of enabled navigation items

cue-41
00:01:39.490 --> 00:01:42.040
and click Save. OLI Torus will now appear

cue-42
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.888
in your course's left-hand menu.

cue-43
00:01:44.888 --> 00:01:48.599
Option two, add the link in an assignment.

cue-44
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.150
Click Assignments. Add Assignment

cue-45
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:54.433
and add a title. This is what students

cue-46
00:01:54.433 --> 00:01:56.190
will see when they click on Assignments in

cue-47
00:01:56.190 --> 00:01:58.268
the Canvas class. Scroll down to

cue-48
00:01:58.268 --> 00:02:00.800
Submission Type, select External Tool.

cue-49
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:04.240
Click Find. Choose OLI Torus from the list

cue-50
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.207
and click Load in a New Tab.

cue-51
00:02:08.207 --> 00:02:11.516
Click Save and Publish or Save. If necessary,

cue-52
00:02:11.516 --> 00:02:14.377
publish the OLI Torus assignment by clicking the

cue-53
00:02:14.377 --> 00:02:16.760
Not Published icon on the right side of

cue-54
00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:21.300
the page. Option three, add the link in a module.

cue-55
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:24.950
Click Modules in the nav menu. Then create

cue-56
00:02:24.950 --> 00:02:27.720
a new module. Give the module a name such

cue-57
00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:30.431
as OLI Torus Course, or base the title on

cue-58
00:02:30.431 --> 00:02:34.017
your Torus content, and click Add Module.

cue-59
00:02:34.017 --> 00:02:36.919
In the new module, click the plus


cue-60
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.480
sign and select External Tool.

cue-61
00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:45.281
Select OLI Torus from the list. Update the

cue-62
00:02:45.281 --> 00:02:48.420
title if you like. Click Load in a New

cue-63
00:02:48.420 --> 00:02:52.686
Tab and click Add Item. Publish the OLI

cue-64
00:02:52.686 --> 00:02:55.420
Torus module by clicking

cue-65
00:02:55.420 --> 00:02:58.878
the Unpublished icon on the right end of

cue-66
00:02:58.878 --> 00:03:00.780
the OLI Torus module.

cue-67
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:04.314
And once you've added the link to Canvas,

cue-68
00:03:04.314 --> 00:03:06.440
it's time to configure your OLI Torus

cue-69
00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:09.695
course materials for use with your students.

cue-70
00:03:09.695 --> 00:03:11.720
Click the OLI Torus link you

cue-71
00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:14.617
just added to load it in a new tab and

cue-72
00:03:14.617 --> 00:03:17.429
configure your OLI Torus materials.

cue-73
00:03:17.429 --> 00:03:20.091
Click Start and follow the prompts.

cue-74
00:03:20.091 --> 00:03:23.640
Select a source material to base your course on.

cue-75
00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:26.874
Use the search feature to find the desired

cue-76
00:03:26.874 --> 00:03:29.800
content if necessary. Now enter basic

cue-77
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.187
info link, course name, course section

cue-78
00:03:32.187 --> 00:03:34.700
number, can be a catalog number or CRN,

cue-79
00:03:34.700 --> 00:03:38.106
for example, and modality for how class

cue-80
00:03:38.106 --> 00:03:40.900
meets and other course details.

cue-81
00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:45.226
Voila, your section has now been created.

cue-82
00:03:45.226 --> 00:03:48.160
Note that once set up, all links will

cue-83
00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:50.226
point to the same OLI Torus course no

cue-84
00:03:50.226 --> 00:03:52.460
matter where students access it from in

cue-85
00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:55.189
Canvas. Students have no OLI Torus accounts.

cue-86
00:03:55.189 --> 00:03:57.130
They will access everything from

cue-87
00:03:57.130 --> 00:03:58.266
the Canvas link.

cue-88
00:03:58.266 --> 00:03:59.535
There you have it.

cue-89
00:03:59.535 --> 00:04:01.940
In just a few steps, you can add and

cue-90
00:04:01.940 --> 00:04:04.398
configure OLI Torus in your Canvas course.

cue-91
00:04:04.398 --> 00:04:06.739
If you need to unlink a course, contact

cue-92
