Infinite Campus Document Viewer Integration - LTI

This integration automatically sets a flag in Campus nightly for each student in SameGoal that has a "Program Participation" badge (is determined to be participating in a given program based on completed documents in SameGoal).

When clicked, each program flag in Campus launches a secure display of the completed plan document for that special program in SameGoal, thereby streamlining communication and collaboration.

This integration may be configured for all supported Special Programs in SameGoal at once, or separately (e.g. one at a time, with different cutover dates for each program). This is helpful in the case a district uses SameGoal originally for Special Education only, then expands SameGoal use to 504, etc over time.

Setup link

To setup the document viewer integration with Infinite Campus:

In Infinite Campus link

Add flags link

Create flags. For each Special Program in SameGoal your district wishes to integrate a flag for:

1. Navigate to the Flags Setup tool and click New.
2. Give the flag a Name and leave the Active checkbox marked. Flags must be configured in Campus to match SameGoal's naming convention for each Special Program. These names vary state-to-state, but can be found as the "Form Group" name within SameGoal (i.e. the group name that appears in the "Create new" dropdown in SameGoal for each group of forms). Common examples include:
   • Special Education
   • Section 504
   • Advanced Learners
   • K-4 Literacy
   • English Learners
3. Mark the Flagged checkbox to display the flag for students who have it assigned. Select a color and image.
4. Mark the Special Ed checkbox in order to allow SameGoal to identify this flag and make a connection with it. All flags used for this integration must have the box "Special Ed" checked, even if the flag is for another program (think of the checkbox as synonymous with special programs).
5. Click Save when finished.

There are two main ways this integration may be configured:

• Option 1: Have this integration create new flags.

  • The pro here is that the integration will not "touch" existing Campus flags.
  • The downside is that the district will then have two flags for each Special Program potentially (one managed by SameGoal, another managed manually).

• Option 2: Have this integration "take over" existing flags the district is already using for each special program (e.g. as of a specified cutover date, SameGoal is the owner and source of truth for this special program flag in Campus).

  • If this option is used, districts should ensure all flags currently entered in Campus are reflected in SameGoal (e.g. student has completed documents in SameGoal "badge" the student in SameGoal. If certain groups of students never had documents entered in SameGoal, but had manually entered flags in Campus, these flags will be end-dated as of the cutover date when the integration is enabled.
  • This option should only be used if:
    • (a) The district has been using SameGoal at least one full year (so that a plan document is expected to have "badged" the student in SameGoal); or
    • (b) The district began using SameGoal less than a year ago, but did an initial key programs data load in SameGoal to bootstrap student program participation badges in SameGoal.
    • Said differently, any manually entered flag in Campus for a particular special program will be end-dated with the integration cutover date less one day if the student does not have a corresponding program participation badge in SameGoal.

If you want this integration to "take over" an existing flag, submit a Campus Support case asking to configure your district's existing program flag(s) (specify which) for SameGoal's Digital Learning Partner integration. Campus will:

• Ensure the desired flag(s) are marked as active, flagged and Special Ed
• Update the flag(s) to match SameGoal's naming convention
• Grant SameGoal access to update these existing flag(s)

Enable an LTI Connection to SameGoal link

Enable an LTI connection

• Select SameGoal from the Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool or by clicking Add Application.
• Expand LTI Connections and click Add LTI Connection.
• Update the Name of the connection to "SameGoal Document Viewer".
• In the Configuration Information from the Partner Program section, enter
  • Launch URL: https://samegoal.com/iep/lti/launch
  • Keyset URL: https://samegoal.com/iep/lti/jwks
  • Login Initiation URL: https://samegoal.com/iep/lti/oidc
  • Target Link URL: https://samegoal.com/iep/lti/launch
• Enter LTI connection information generated in Campus into SameGoal (see below).

In SameGoal link

1. Visit Settings > District Information.
2. Under the "Infinite Campus" section on this page, click "add Digital Learning Partner Document Viewer".
3. Enter the LTI connection information generated in Campus. This includes:
   • Public Keyset URL
   • OpenID Endpoint
   • Deployment ID
   • Client ID
   • Cutover Dates (for each special program)

It may take up to 24 hours for this integration to run. Once it has:

• A flag in Campus should appear for each student with a matching program participation badge in SameGoal unless the student is not included in the OneRoster demographics integration (a good way to quickly tell is to visit a student's "Basics" tab in SameGoal, and verify their "Internal SIS Student Id" is a long string of format XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX).
• If this integration was setup to take over an existing flag in Campus:
  • If a student has an open flag for this program in Campus as of the program cutover date entered in SameGoal, the open flag in Campus is end dated (as the cutover date less one day).
  • If the student in SameGoal has a program participation badge that starts on or before the cutover date, a new flag is added to Campus that contains the LTI launch URL).
  • The reason existing flags are one-time end-dated in Campus with the cutover date less one day is so that each flag, going forward, contains the LTI launch URL.

Prior Outline Links link

If your district previously used outline link-based document viewer integration, outline links will no longer work.

To remove outline link-based document viewer integration:

• In Campus:
  • Remove custom auth connections located under System Administration > Data Utilities > Custom Auth Utility.
  • Remove outline links located under System Administration > Custom > Outline Links.
• In SameGoal:
  • Remove "Return URL" for Infinite Campus located in Settings > District Information > Details.
