Getting started for institutions

Provenance connects to your learning management system as an LTI 1.3 tool. Once installed, faculty create Provenance assessments from inside their existing courses, and results flow back to the LMS gradebook.

What you'll need

  • An LMS that supports LTI 1.3 — Canvas and Moodle are supported today.
  • LMS administrator access to register an external tool and create a deployment.
  • An active agreement with Provenance Learning for your institution.

Install the LTI tool

Provenance is registered in your LMS as an LTI 1.3 tool. At a high level, installation means registering the tool with your LMS (in Canvas, a Developer Key; in Moodle, an external tool registration), creating a deployment, and exchanging the identifiers so both systems trust each other.

  1. Contact us to begin onboarding. We provide the tool configuration for your LMS — launch and login URLs, public key set, and the redirect URIs — along with step-by-step instructions for your platform.
  2. Register the tool in your LMS using that configuration, and create a deployment for the account or sub-account where Provenance should be available.
  3. Send us your deployment identifiers. We register your platform issuer, client ID, and deployment ID on our side to complete the trust exchange.
  4. Verify with a test launch. We'll confirm together that a course can launch Provenance, rosters resolve correctly, and a test result reaches the gradebook.

Onboarding is guided — you won't be left alone with a configuration form. Write tosupport@provenancelearning.aito schedule it.

What faculty and students see

  • Faculty create Provenance assessments from within their course. Assignment details, rubric criteria, and rosters come from the LMS, so there is no duplicate setup.
  • Students launch their review from the LMS assignment — no separate account or password to manage.
  • Results return to the LMS gradebook through LTI grade services after faculty validate them.

Rolling out

A rollout pattern that has worked well:

  1. Start with a small pilot — one or two courses with faculty who want richer evidence of understanding.
  2. Orient faculty before the first assessment: thefaculty guide covers question review and evaluation in about ten minutes of reading.
  3. Tell students what to expect. Thestudent guide andFAQ answer the questions students actually ask, especially about recording and privacy.
  4. Agree on support routes: course questions go to the instructor; technical issues come to us.

Data protection questions

Review sessions capture student work, audio, and transcripts, so procurement and privacy teams rightly ask hard questions. Start with theprivacy policy and thesecurity page; for security documentation or a review, write tosecurity@provenancelearning.ai.

Retention and deletion

Records are retained under your institution's agreement, and deletion requests are honored through the process described in the privacy policy — write toprivacy@provenancelearning.ai.
