This guide is intended to help Curriculum Builder (CB) customers transition to LTI v1.3. Below you'll find the CB Deprecation Timeline, LTI Setup Instructions, Transition Strategy Recommendations, and instructions on how to export your CB reading lists and rebuild them using LTI. Please note that much of the LTI workflow depends on which LMS / VLE you are using. Our Customer Training Team is available for one-on-one training sessions to help you get started. Reach out to your Sales Representative to schedule a personalized training.
EBSCO supports LTI v1.3 integration for popular platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L/Brightspace, and Schoology. We encourage customers to submit Enhancement Requests if they would like us to add support for other LMS and VLE platforms.
See the LTI Faculty Guide tab for detailed instructions to help train your faculty.

Determine Which CB Lists Need to be Rebuilt with LTI
Start by exporting your CB Reading lists (instructions below). Then analyze the report to see which CB Reading Lists are still being used. This way you can focus on rebuilding the lists that truly need it and you'll know which lists will not be recreated through LTI.
Setup LTI Early
Start using LTI as soon as possible so you have plenty of time to learn how it works, and determine a training plan for your faculty. LTI tools vary slightly between different LMS's/VLE's. See LTI v1.3 Setup Instructions box on this page, and see the LTI Faculty Guide tab for detailed instructions to help train your faculty.
Take a Gradual Approach
Rather than asking your faculty to recreate all their CB reading lists through LTI in a short period of time, EBSCO suggests a gradual approach for a smoother transition. You can use CB and LTI simultaneously, gradually rebuilding 1-2 lists at a time, and eventually have faculty create new reading lists using LTI.
Contact your Sales Representative
Reach out to your Sales Representative to arrange LTI training sessions with our Customer Training team and to discuss timing for your CB subscriptions and LTI transition plan.
After the LTI v1.3 tool is installed for your LMS / VLE, faculty can use it to search for the items in their Curriculum Builder reading lists, and embed full text links into each course page. The steps below may be helpful for training your faculty. See also the LTI Faculty Guide tab, for end-user instructions on how to use LTI. Reach out to your Sales Representative to set up a training session with one of our Customer Trainers to address any questions you might have.
Please note that EBSCO LTI tools work slightly differently, depending on the LMS / VLE - follow the instructions on the LTI Faculty Guide tab.
LTI v1.3 setups are a handshake between EBSCOadmin and your LMS / VLE. These instructions require each customer's administrator logins for both EBSCOadmin and the 3rd party LMS / VLE. This may be more than one person at your institution.
See the LTI Faculty Guide tab for instructions that you can give your faculty.
