LMS LTI 1.3 tool

The syllabus,
alive.

Upload a PDF. Archclassroom reads it, drafts a week-by-week course, syncs grades from Blackboard, and writes students when a score lands — and again at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16.

No extra login. Instructors and students open the tool inside the LMS course and land in the right seat.

Week 00Orientation

From a static PDF to a course that keeps time.

  1. 01

    Click the tool in the course

    Blackboard launches Archclassroom with LTI 1.3. There is no separate login page. Instructors and students are seated automatically from the launch.

  2. 02

    Turn a syllabus into a term

    Instructors upload a PDF or paste a URL. Retrieval-augmented parsing drafts weeks, due dates, points, and suggested readings. Review, drag to reorder, then save.

  3. 03

    Teach inside the outline

    Students walk the current week. Grades sync from Blackboard. Instructors leave audio or written notes. Emails can fire on new scores and at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16.

Week 01The parse

Drop the syllabus. Keep the editorial control.

PDF or URL — Archclassroom chunks the document, retrieves what matters, and drafts a timeline: weeks, quizzes, homework, exams, projects, lectures, and readings. Nothing is published until you say so.

  • Accepts a syllabus PDF or a public URL
  • Drafts weeks with due dates, points, and suggested readings
  • Drag weeks or items to reorder, add anything the parse missed, then save

Past weeks fold away. The current week stays open. Upcoming work waits with its due date.

Week 02The living week

Students stop hunting a 20-page PDF.

The course is a timeline. Current week is marked. Due dates sit on the row. Grades from Blackboard already show as not started, submitted, or scored. Instructors can pin suggested readings to any week.

Week 03Two desks

Same course. Two honest views.

The lectern

See the whole room.

  • Upload and re-parse a syllabus, then edit the timeline any time
  • Add or revise weekly readings without touching Blackboard content items
  • Open any student and walk their weeks, scores, and due dates
  • Leave rich-text or audio feedback on an assignment
  • Toggle grade emails and four-week reflections per course

Week 04Spoken notes

Feedback that can be read — or heard.

On any quiz, homework, exam, or project, instructors leave a rich-text note or record audio. Students reply in the same thread. A grade is a number; this is the sentence that goes with it.

Week 7 · Subnetting a network

Instructor voice note · 0:42

“Your mask is right. Walk me through why the third subnet starts where it does — I want to hear the reasoning, not just the answer.”

Prof. Ajayi · written note
Week 05Letters home

Emails that already know the syllabus.

When a grade syncs from Blackboard, a letter can go out for that assignment. Every four weeks — 4, 8, 12, 16 — a reflection summarizes how the student is doing, grounded in the actual coursework. Instructors hold a master switch, plus a toggle for each letter type.

Grade feedback

A score, in context

Sent when a new or updated grade arrives from Blackboard. The letter names the assessment, the points, the course, and the instructor — not a raw LMS notification.

To · student

Week 3 Homework is in: 145 of 150 in Computing Networks.

Reflection · 4 · 8 · 12 · 16

Four weeks, one letter

A scheduled performance summary — what is graded, what is still open, what is coming — written against the syllabus timeline, not a generic pep talk.

Week 8 of 16

Midterm week. Two scores in, a project submitted, an exam still ahead.

Week 06The handshake

It lives where the course already lives.

Archclassroom is a Blackboard Learn tool, not another website to remember. Your LMS admin registers the LTI 1.3 placement; faculty click it inside the course. Completely free — no seats, no invoices, no campus procurement theater.

OIDC

Login initiation

Blackboard starts the LTI 1.3 dance. Archclassroom never asks for a campus password.

NRPS

Roster

Names and seats sync from the course memberships so the instructor view is the real room.

AGS

Grades

Scores and submission status pull from Assignment and Grade Services on a schedule.

JWKS

Trust

Public keys at a well-known URL. Register once, place the tool in the course, launch.

No extra account. No pricing page. Launch it from the course.

If the tool is not in your Blackboard course yet, ask your LMS administrator to register the LTI 1.3 placement. That is the entire onboarding.

Week 07Questions

Straight answers.

No. Auth is LTI-only. Blackboard launches the tool with a session; there is no login page on this site.
