Clover Virtual Training Labs (VTL) integrates into your LMS as an External Learning Tool<\/strong>. As an LTI-compliant tool provider, Clover is compatible with all LMS platforms that support LTI integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning Tools Interoperability\u00ae (LTI\u00ae)<\/strong> <\/a>enables your Learning Management System (LMS) to connect seamlessly and securely with external tools like Clover. This standards-based integration allows your LMS to transmit essential information to Clover, including the user\u2019s role (instructor or student) and the course context from which the tool is launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Importantly, Clover relies on LTI 1.3 (LTI Advantage)<\/strong> to deliver the most secure and feature-rich integration. This enables students and instructors to launch Clover directly from within the LMS without requiring additional usernames or passwords \u2014 ensuring seamless, authenticated access every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clover also supports automatic user account creation at launch, combining registration and single sign-on (SSO) into a single, streamlined workflow \u2014 reducing administrative tasks and providing a smooth user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To integrate Clover with your LMS, two key registrations are required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow these steps to configure Clover as an external tool in your LMS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re using one of the following LMS platforms, we provide detailed tutorials to guide you through Clover LTI integration:<\/p>\n\n\n\nConfiguration Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Configure Clover as an external learning tool within your LMS. This enables the LMS to connect to Clover and pass essential user and course information during launch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Set up the LMS as a trusted platform within Clover. This allows Clover to recognize and securely accept requests coming from your LMS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nStep 1:<\/strong> Registering the Tool (Clover) in the LMS<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When adding\u00a0Clover<\/strong>\u00a0as an\u00a0external LTI tool<\/strong>\u00a0in your LMS, you can choose the\u00a0context level<\/strong>\u00a0at which the integration operates: Per\u00a0Course<\/strong>\u00a0or Per\u00a0Unit<\/strong>\u00a0(also known as\u00a0section<\/em>,\u00a0module<\/em>, or\u00a0topic<\/em>, depending on the LMS). This selection defines how virtual classrooms are mapped inside Clover.
\ud83e\udded\u00a0Option 1: Course-Level Integration<\/strong>
What it does:<\/strong>
Injects the\u00a0course name<\/strong>\u00a0into Clover and links the entire course to\u00a0one virtual classroom<\/strong>.
Use case:<\/strong>
Ideal when the same virtual lab environment is used throughout the course.
Result in Clover:<\/strong>
A\u00a0single virtual classroom<\/strong>\u00a0associated with the course.
\ud83e\udded\u00a0Option 2: Unit-Level Integration<\/strong>\u00a0(Section \/ Module)<\/em>
What it does:<\/strong>
Injects the\u00a0unit (or module) name<\/strong>\u00a0into Clover and creates a\u00a0separate virtual classroom per unit<\/strong>.
Use case:<\/strong>
Perfect for courses that need\u00a0distinct lab environments per topic<\/strong>, such as:
\u2013 Different host pools per unit
\u2013 Custom applications or setups per subject area
Result in Clover:<\/strong>
Multiple virtual classrooms within the same course \u2014 one for each unit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n
