Staff members: Using Vevox with Brightspace
The Vevox LTI will allow users to:
- Simply add a Vevox activity to courses.
- Once the Vevox button is chosen it will launch the Vevox dashboard.
- The LTI will automatically add the user (or staff member) to your Vevox account – no login required.
- LTI will automatically create a Vevox 9 digit Session ID and name this as per the Brightspace course name – removing this step for users.
- This will take you straight into your session / Session ID where you can start creating polls, set up Q&A or surveys.
Setup instructions to use Vevox LTI integration with Brightspace
This set up needs to be requested and completed by your LMS/VLE administrators and you require a Vevox Institutional Plan to access this feature.
Contact your Vevox Customer Success Manager and they will request a Consumer Key and Shared Secret to enable the LTI to work. Or email us at education@Vevox.com
You will need to make note of the Launch Point URL which is https://httpapi.vevox.com/lti/meeting/launch
Follow the Brightspace instructions for adding third party tools found here.
Test that the LTI is working by checking that:
- When you click on the Vevox activity it opens your unique Vevox dashboard account and automatically creates your account and log you in.
- A Vevox Session ID is created, named as per the associated Brightspace course and opens within this Session ID.
Any issues in setting up the LTI please contact your Customer Success Manager. All VLE/LMS’s are set up differently and we can help you adjust settings to get the integration working if needed.
It is also possible to set up a test environment prior to going straight into a live environment. Speak to our Vevox team to confirm if you would like to use this option.
Students: Using Vevox with Brightspace
- There is a separate LTI to use when adding Vevox to the student profile within Brightspace. This can be requested by emailing us at education@vevox.com.
- If you implement the Student LTI the Vevox button will appear under the associated course that the member of staff has created, and can link students directly into the Vevox Session ID.
Other ways students can access Vevox
- An alternative to using the Student LTI, lecturers/users can either direct the students to go to vevox.app and enter the 9 digit Session ID, or send them the direct link. The format of the link will look something like this: https://vevox.app/m#/123456789 (Remember to replace the 123456789 with your unique 9 digit Session ID. Remember no spaces).
- When using Microsoft Teams we suggest using the Vevox Teams App making it easier for students to access Vevox. More details on why to use the Vevox MS Teams app. For step by step instructions on adding the Vevox Teams App read this article.
