How do I add an external tool on a Lessons page?

Updated on

Instructors can add links to a select variety of external tools, or LTI items, on a Lessons page. This allows instructors to seamlessly incorporate content from third party applications (supported by Loyola) within the site. 

Go to Lessons.
