What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
This PR adds documentation for properly configuring the GitHub Classroom integration with Anthology Blackboard LMS. This LMS is fully compliant with [LTI1.3 Advantage](https://site.imsglobal.org/certifications/anthology/blackboard-learn), particularly the NRPS service used by GitHub Classroom for roster synchronization.
If this PR is accepted, we suggest the following improvements:
register-a-learning-management-system-with-github-classroom.md
).Important note: The optimal integration method for GitHub Classroom into Blackboard would involve GitHub managing a global registration in the Anthology Developer Portal (step #1 in
register-a-learning-management-system-with-github-classroom.md
). This approach is recommended by [Anthology](https://docs.anthology.com/docs/blackboard/lti/1.3/best-practices#why-vendor-tool-registration-is-best), as it allows each institutional deployment to be distinguished by itsdeploymentId
and platform URL. However,deploymentId
is not currently a configurable field on https://classroom.github.com/register-lms. Therefore, the registration flow proposed in this PR, which creates a uniqueclientId
for each institution, is currently the only feasible option.Check off the following:
