   Description	Automatically track progress in self-paced training courses
   Extensions	Assignment and Grade Services—Selected Deep Linking—Not selected Names and Role Provisioning Services—Not selected
   Security	Org Unit Information—Selected You must select this option to access the assignment created with this tool. User ID—Selected MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses uses this ID so it can know when the same user is returning. Link Information (and Title and Description)—Selected The title and description tell MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses the name of the course that launched the tool, which can be useful for reporting and content management.
   Configuration Settings	Select Grades created by LTI will be included in Final Grade. Checking this setting allows instructors the option to create assessments whose grades are part of the final grade. Select Auto Create Grade Items. If this option is not checked, no grade columns are created.
   Substitution parameters	Leave empty.
   Custom parameters	Leave empty.
   Org Units	If you do not have a default set of Org Units already selected that will have access to the tool, add one at this time. To add one or more Org Units, use Add Org Units.

3. Click the copy icon next to the Deployment Id to copy it. Then, paste it somewhere you can find it easily, with the rest of the information you gathered from the register tool page. This information is required for the next step.

4. Click Save but do not close.

Step 6. Register Tool Information with MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses

Enter integration values on the LMS Integration page.

1. Under Step 6, using the information that you copied from the tool configuration and the deployment configuration, provide the following values.

   For this MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses LMS Integration field…	Enter the value you copied from this field in Brightspace (D2L):
