Faculty: GivePulse Integration with Learning Management Systems

The GivePulse platform integrates with any Learning Management System (LMS) through its very own Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI). Faculty and course instructors can embed the GivePulse LTI into assignments and courses to organize service-learning and all community engagement from a single location. The LTI can be set up by any staff member for one or many courses. Ideally, the IT administrators will set this up for specific courses or allow teachers, faculty, and staff to decide for their own courses and assignments.

This article will cover the following:

• Instructions for Setting up the LTI

Creating Widgets to Embed in your LMS

With widgets, admins can display and embed GivePulse content on another website. FRom your Group Admin Dashboard, click More Tools and select Widgets in the dropdown menu. This page allows you to set up templates to share, distribute and embed widgets into any external website. 

For example, if you wanted to direct students to a service event via Canvas, you may create a widget template for it. You will then determine if you want the default to be a list view or a calendar view, save and copy. There will then be a line of a code which you may copy and paste into your Canvas page. 

This will direct students over to GivePulse to complete the registration process.
