How to set up Carolina Science Online as a new tool provider in Canvas

Before implementing Gateway LTI Links, Carolina Science Online (CSO) should be added to your LMS environment as a LTI Tool Provider/External Learning Tool Provider. This one-time step requires administrator access. Once the tool provider has been set up, course instructors can add LTI links to their courses without needing special admin permissions. 

Canvas refers to the LTI Tool Provider as an "External App."
