LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) connects Mindjoy directly to your Learning Management System: Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, or any platform that supports LTI 1.3.
Instead of managing Mindjoy separately, your students and educators reach everything through the LMS they already use every day. That means:
No extra logins. Users sign in through the LMS and land straight in Mindjoy.
Content lives where students expect it. Add tutors, lessons and pathways to your course modules, alongside your other materials.
Less admin work. Student accounts and classroom enrolment are handled when students open an activity.
If your school already runs its courses through an LMS, LTI brings Mindjoy into that workflow.
Connecting your LMS
An organisation admin connects the LMS once, from Organization > Integrations > LTI in Mindjoy. Each Mindjoy organisation connects to one LMS.
Moodle: paste a setup link from Mindjoy into Moodle and approve the tool. Nothing to copy back. See Connecting Moodle with LTI 1.3.
Canvas and Brightspace: paste a setup link, then copy the deployment ID your LMS creates back into Mindjoy. See Connecting Canvas with LTI 1.3 and Connecting Brightspace (D2L) with LTI 1.3.
Blackboard Learn and LMSs that don't support setup links: use manual setup. See Connecting Blackboard Learn with LTI 1.3.

Launch flow
When someone clicks a Mindjoy link in your LMS:
1. The LMS sends their identity to Mindjoy
2. Mindjoy matches it to an account, or creates one
3. They're signed in and taken to the right place
Lessons and pathways open directly. Before a lesson or pathway's start date, students are still added to the classroom but land on the classroom page instead. The same happens if the item has been closed or moved to the trash.
Educators opening Mindjoy from a course for the first time are asked to link a classroom to it.
Opening Mindjoy from your LMS signs out anyone else who was signed in to Mindjoy in that browser. If you're a teacher testing a student link, use a private window.
Account linking
If you already have a Mindjoy account with the same email address:
1. You'll see a "check your email" page
2. Mindjoy sends a verification email to confirm it's really you
3. Click the link in the email and confirm the connection
4. Once linked, future LMS launches sign you into your existing account automatically
Deep linking
Deep linking lets educators choose specific Mindjoy content to add to the LMS.
When an educator adds Mindjoy content to a course:
1. Mindjoy's picker opens and they choose a tutor, lesson or pathway
2. Lessons and pathways get a start date and a due date. A draft lesson is published as it's added, and the button reads Publish and add to course.
3. The content is assigned to that classroom. If it's already there, Mindjoy keeps its current dates and reopens it if it was closed.
4. A link is created in the LMS that points to that assignment
Grades aren't sent back to your LMS. Marks and feedback stay in Mindjoy. The educator's side is covered step by step in Adding Mindjoy lessons, pathways and tutors to your LMS course.
Automatic student enrolment
When a student opens a Mindjoy link or launches into a course:
If they're not already in the linked classroom, they're added automatically
The classroom must belong to the same organisation as the LMS connection
