Additional information of importance when creating this type of LTI connection:

• Students entering InteDashboard will only see activities when they are placed in teams on InteDashboard within a course.

• Students who are enrolled in one course will see only that specific course and activity when they click on the LTI link from within Brightspace.

• Students who are enrolled in multiple courses will see all the courses and activities they are enrolled in when they click on the LTI link from within Brightspace.

• The application behavior is similar to an admin account works. If your teacher account has admin status you can see all the courses on the InteDashboard landing page when you login because you’re part of them. But professors that have been added to just one course, will only see one course in the landing page when they log in. The same thing applies to students.
