The ATLAS LTI Tool is currently incompatible with Safari. We recommend using the LTI with Chrome or Firefox while we work to fix this. We apologize for the inconvenience.


Overview

The LTI Tool allows instructors to embed ATLAS Cases they have curated to Groups directly into Moodle.  When students launch the LTI links, they'll be able to view the Case the instructor has selected. 

Please do not add students to the ATLAS platform beforehand 


Setting up Course Groups in ATLAS

Safari Login Issue

The Problem: 

I am using Safari and I can’t seem to login to the LTI Tool no matter what I do! I’ve even tried changing my password via reset password from email, and it still doesn’t work. 


If you are using Safari 13+ the solution below will not work, due to updates with the way 3rd party cookies are handled.  We recommend using Firefox or Chrome instead. 


If you are using Safari 12 or earlier: 


The Solution: 

  1. Check your cookie settings, and make sure you are allowing third party cookies. If you are strict about your cookie settings, you may need to whitelist atlas.nbpts.org
  2. Close out of the LTI Tool
  3. Open the Homepage in a new tab 
  4. Launch the LTI tool again 


The Reason:


Safari does a lot to protect your privacy, and ensure third parties aren’t tracking you without your consent. Because of this, Safari won’t allow third parties to set cookie information, if it looks like you haven’t visited the site recently. This means we can’t set an SSO cookie if you’ve recently cleared your history, are using Safari for the first time, or are using Safari on a new device. Opening the ATLAS Homepage will fix this problem, because it indicates to Safari that ATLAS is a site you use intentionally.
